Friday, 18 March 2011

Make your own healthy tortilla chips with salsa and guacamole for a guilt-free appetiser. With less than 200 calories per serve, it’s a great alternative to Doritos and fattier, store-bought dips.


Here’s what you need to do…

(To serve 8)

Start by preparing the salsa- for the best flavour, it needs to be refrigerated for at least 12 hours before serving.

 

What you’ll need


  • 3 cups diced tomato (canned or fresh)
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 2 garlic cloves, diced
  • Juice from 1/2 a lime
  • 1/2 tsp salt


Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Cover and let sit in the fridge for at least 12 hours to let the flavours mix properly.

What you’ll need

  • 12 6-inch corn tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • Salt to taste

Directions

  1. Heat oven to around 200 degrees C.
  2. Lightly coat both sides of each tortilla with the oil, using a pastry brush.
  3. Stack the tortillas and cut them into quarters, then spread them out on a lightly greased baking tray. Sprinkle salt evenly across them.

Guacamole (54 calories)

 

What you'll need...
