Instructions
Chips
- Cut each of the tortillas into at least 8 wedges, which will be the shape of the chips.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Mix the herbs, spices, lemon juice and zest in a small bowl.
- You can either dip the tortilla wedges briefly in the mixture, or brush it on them lightly.
- Arrange in a single layer on a cookie sheet, and bake for about 2 minutes.
- Turn over and bake for another 2 or 3 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
Guacamole
- Lightly mash the avocado flesh in a medium sized bowl.
- Chop the tomatoes, and add them to the avocado along with the jalapeno pepper, cilantro, garlic, red pepper flakes, onion and salt.
- Stir to combine, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Cut the grapefruit in half. Juice one half, and add the juice to the avocado mixture.
- Using a sharp knife, cut into the membrane of the other half of the grapefruit over a bowl to release the flesh. Roughly chop the flesh and stir it into the guacamole.
