GUACAMOLE-CHEESE CRISPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. For each cheese crisp, spoon 1 tablespoon cheese (loosely packed) onto paper-lined cookie sheet; pat into 1 1/2-inch round.
• Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool 5 minutes or until crisp.
• Onto each cheese crisp, spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons guacamole and about 1/2 teaspoon each sour cream and salsa.

ULTIMATE GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the onion, tomato, chilli and most of the coriander until finely chopped (or you can do this by hand), then transfer to a bowl.
• Roll the lime over the work surface with some pressure to help juicing, then cut in half, juice it and add to the mix.
• Now cut your avocados in half, remove the stone and scoop out the creamy flesh with a spoon, making sure you get all the lovely bright green bit close to the skin.
• With clean hands squash the avocado to a pulp to make it super creamy. Leave a few of the chunks for a bit of texture. Mix through the blitzed veg and some seasoning. Serve immediately with a drizzle of good olive oil over the top and some more coriander.

HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS WITH GUACAMOLE & CHARRED TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• To make the tortillas, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush both sides of the tortillas with the oil, then cut into triangles with scissors. Arrange in a single layer on 1 or 2 baking sheets and bake for 7-8 mins. Remove, sprinkle with salt and set aside.
• To make the guacamole, halve and stone the avocados, then spoon the flesh into a bowl. Pour over the lime juice and a sprinkle of salt, then crush with a potato masher until puréed but still chunky. Add onion, coriander, chillies and chipotle paste. Stir through and set aside until needed.
• For the salsa, place the tomatoes, cut-side up, in a shallow baking tray. Season, and place under the grill until blackened, about 15 mins. Meanwhile, in a dry non-stick frying pan, blacken the chillies and garlic. Keep turning to darken on all sides, about 10 mins. When done, peel the garlic and place in a food processor. Place the chillies in a plastic bag to steam for a few mins, then peel, deseed and stem. Add the flesh to the food processor along with the tomatoes, onion, coriander, lime juice and chipotle paste. Season and pulse until chunky.

CRISPY CHEESE & GUACAMOLE TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Sprinkle the cheese over the tortillas, then sandwich them together in pairs, so you have 2 tortilla sandwiches. Sit on baking sheets and bake for 8-10 mins until golden, crispy and the cheese is melted.
• Halve the avocado and spoon out chunks onto the 2 tortillas; squash into the tortillas a bit with the back of the spoon. Scatter over tomatoes, chilli, coriander and seasoning. Squeeze over some lime and eat immediately.

GUACAMOLE AND CHEESE CHALUPAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet or deep-fat fryer.
• When hot, deep-fry the tortillas for 2 minutes until crisp and golden.
• Alternatively, you can bake the tortillas for 20 minutes.
• Mash together the avocado and goat cheese.
• Add the onion, cumin seeds, lemon juice, hot sauce and seasoning.
• Top each tortilla with the guacamole, then a little yogurt.
• Sprinkle the cilantro on top, to garnish.

BEST EVER CHUNKY GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Use a large knife to pulverise 1 large ripe tomato to a pulp on a board, then tip into a bowl.
• Halve and stone the 3 avocados (saving a stone) and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into the bowl with the tomato.
• Tip the juice of 1 large lime, a handful of roughly chopped coriander, 1 finely chopped small red onion and 1 deseeded and finely chopped red or green chilli into the bowl, then season with salt and pepper.
• Use a whisk to roughly mash everything together. If not serving straight away, sit a stone in the guacamole (this helps to stop it going brown), cover with cling film and chill until needed.
