Guacamole and baked tortilla chips

As I mentioned before, we were gifted a trove of homegrown lemons from sweet friends, and avocados have been on sale at the store, so it has been a no-brainer to whip up one of my favorite snacks: homemade tortilla chips with guacamole. I'm pretty confident I could eat guacamole every day. My grandparents had an avocado tree while I was growing up, and I would snack on the creamy fruit with a sprinkle of salt pretty often. The tree is long gone by now, and if we were ever blessed with a home that featured a backyard, I would advocate for an avocado tree. For now, store-bought avocados make a frequent appearance in our kitchen, usually in the form of these easy-to-make, so-good, and good-for-you homemade guacamole and chips. I prefer my guacamole pretty pure - just large chunks of avocado, a bit of red onion, a generous squeeze of lemon or lime, some garlic salt, and freshly ground pepper. The avocado's creamy taste is highlighted, and, when paired with freshly-baked tortilla chips, make for the tastiest snack. I don't have specific measurements for the guacamole, only because it really is suited to your preferences. Just sprinkle a bit of this and that until it is to your liking!

Guacamole and Baked Tortilla Chips
Ingredients:
1 pkg (18 count) corn tortillas
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 large avocados, halved, seeded, and peeled
1/4 red onion, minced
1/2 small lime or 1/3 lemon
Garlic Salt

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Stack your tortillas into groups of 6, and cut each stack into sixths, so that you have chip-sized wedges. Throw wedges into a large bowl. Add extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp sea salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, and 3 tbsp lime (or lemon) juice. Toss until all seasonings are well distributed onto the wedges.
2. Lay tortilla wedges into a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until crisp, or about 10-15 minutes.
3. Slice avocado halves into large (1/3") cubes. Place into a large bowl and toss in red onion and the juice of about 1/3 of a lemon or 1/2 of a lime. Sprinkle with dashes of garlic salt and freshly ground pepper, a little bit at a time until the taste is to your liking. Fold all ingredients gently so that avocado cubes do not get too mashed. Enjoy with freshly baked tortilla chips!
