Mango Guacamole with Baked Tortilla Chips
Do you love to party! If you do then you know Cinco de Mayo is this Sunday.
When I was younger I use to go out and party with my friends, then it got old being around a bunch of rowdy people, lots of pushing and shoving – not fun at all. So instead of going out I started going to friends homes or having them over, and now, well, if you must know, it’s just another day.
That being said, I still like to prepare food for the occasion, to celebrate. Whatever stage in life you’re at, I know you’ll enjoy celebrating with this Mango Guacamole and Baked Tortilla Chips. It’s so simple to whip up that you’ll be making it all the time, not just for Cinco de Mayo.
I prepared a video covering all the details from how to cut an avocado and mango, to selecting the perfect ones, plus, how to make your own baked tortilla chips. Baked tortilla chips are healthier than fattening fried tortilla chips. Let’s face it, you can still celebrate and enjoy the festivities, and food, without feeling disgusting the next day – that is unless you over indulge in the alcohol.
Check out my video then print the recipe below to make for your Cinco de Mayo celebration this Sunday!
