This recipe combines crispy cheddar cheese chips with guacamole, for a perfect quick and easy cold appetizer. Everyone loved them, including all the people that don’t even care about low carb eating (which was almost everyone). I topped each chip individually so that they were easy for people to grab, but you could make it even simpler by just scooping the guacamole with the chips directly. Either way, once you try these cheese chips, I think they’ll become one of your favorites, too.
Ingredients
1 tbsp. Fresh cilantro (minced)
1/4 Jalapeno (minced)
2 tbsp. Red onion (minced)
1/4 tsp. Sea salt
1 tsp. Lime juice
1 Avocado
1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
Method
01
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Use parchment paper to line two baking sheets that will fit in the oven side-by-side.
02
Place tablespoon-size circles of shredded cheese onto the lined baking sheet, at least 1.5-2 in (4-5 cm) apart. Bake for 5-8 minutes, until edges are golden and cheese is bubbly. Cool completely on the baking sheet, then pat excess oil with a paper towel.
03
Meanwhile, to make the guacamole, combine the avocado, lime juice, and sea salt in a bowl. Use a potato masher or fork to mash until smooth. Fold in the red onion, jalapeno, and fresh cilantro.
04
Arrange the chips in a single layer on a platter. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop the guacamole onto the chips. Sprinkle with additional cilantro on top, if desired.
