Guacamole with nachos

• 4 ripe avocados
• 1 onion (medium)
• 1 clove of garlic
• Several corn tortillas (or processed nachos)
• Cilantro (fresh and chopped)
• Chives 1/2
• Chilli 1/2
• Squeezed lime (juice)
• A little virgin olive oil
• Salt

Step 1

Cut the corn cakes into triangles and fry them in a pan with olive oil. Once golden brown, take them out and set them aside on a tray or in a bowl. You can use a kitchen towel to soak up any excess oil.

Step 2

Chop the onion, chives, tomato, garlic and chilli. You can do this process in the traditional way (with a pestle and mortar) or use a blender.

Step 3

Cut the avocados. Cut them in half and remove the pits. Then use a spoon to scoop out the pulp from the inside and add it to the rest of the ingredients. You can add the lime juice now. Not only will it give the avocado a characteristic acidic touch, but it will also help the avocado to keep better, without turning black.

Step 4

Mix all the ingredients well. You can use a fork to mash them as much as possible to get a much more compact mixture. Before serving, you can season to taste with a little salt.

Step 5

Serve this guacamole recipe with nachos in separate containers (like a bowl) and add the pancakes as you prefer. You can leave them for everyone to share or add a few to each serving.
