When Chipotle is needed it is here, when a great snack is needed it is also here

Serves 2

Ingredients

For the guacamole

        2 tbsp olive oil
        1 garlic clove, chopped
        1 smoked chipotle chilli, chopped
        ½ avocado, peeled and stone removed
        1 lime, juice only
        handful fresh coriander, chopped
        salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the tortillas

        500ml/18fl oz vegetable oil, for deep frying
        4 ready-made flour tortillas, cut into 8 wedges

Method

For the guacamole, place all of the guacamole ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth.

    For the tortillas, place the vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed saucepan and heat until a small cube of bread sizzles and turns
   golden when dropped into it. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)

    Carefully place the tortilla wedges into the hot oil and deep fry until golden-brown and crisp. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and
    drain on kitchen paper.

    To serve, place the fried tortillas onto a serving plate with the guacamole in a small bowl alongside.
