What do you get when you combine 2 of my favorite foods in the entire world? Itβs Guacamole Salsa, or Guacalsa, or Salsamole. Whatever it is, itβs freaking delicious! And what makes it even better are these McCormick Spice dusted freshly fried tortilla chips that are guaranteed to blow all other chips out of the water!
Imagine your favorite ingredients from guacamole (hello, avocados!) combined with the best of the best from a simple pico de gallo, all tossed together and seasoned to perfection. Guacamole Salsa is legit, new, exciting and itβs hereΒ to stay!
As part of my partnership with McCormick this year, I had an opportunity to test drive their new Flavor Print.
Back when I was a kid, I was obsessed with taking personality quizzes. Oh, who am I kidding, Iβm still obsessed. Buzzfeed sucks me in for hours on end! FlavorPrint walks you through some fun food related questions and at the end you wind up with a custom flavor profile shedding light into what kind of flavors you tend to gravitate towards. Itβs hands down the most helpful quiz Iβve taken in recent months, although itβs possible that one day Iβll need to know what house I would live in should I stumble into the Harry Potter world. (Gryffindor, obviously) Hop on over to FlavorPrint to get your own personal flavor profile!
My results were pretty spot on with the flavors we tend to see her on Whatβs Gaby Cooking! Once you get your results, FlavorPrint matches you up with a ton of great McCormick recipe ideasβ¦ one of which being this Guacamole Salsa! I put my own spin on it, as thatβs how I roll, and voila! Throw this on the menu for your upcoming weekend plans and happy Friday!
Guacamole Salsa
Ingredients
For the Chips
- Vegetable Oil
- 5-6 Small Corn Tortillas
- Β½ teaspoon McCormick Garlic Powder
- Β½ teaspoon McCormick Hot Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
For the Guacamole Salsa
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 medium tomatoes diced
- Β½ teaspoon McCormick Red Pepper Flakes
- 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 lime juiced
- Kosher Salt and Freshly Cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
For the Chips:
- Cut the tortillas into 6 triangles each.
- Add the vegetable oil to a heavy bottom pan over high heat, about Β½ inch deep. Once the oil is shimmering, add a few of the tortilla triangles at a time and fry for about 1 minute on each side until they are crisp.
- Meanwhile, combine the salt, McCormick Garlic Powder and McCormick Hot Paprika in a small bowl and set aside.
- Remove the chips from the oil and transfer to a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt mixture and let cool to room temperature.
For the Guacamole Salsa
- Cut the avocados in half lengthwise. Remove the pit from the avocado and discard. Remove the avocado from the skin and place the avocado flesh onto a cutting board. Cut the avocado into [1/4] inch pieces and transfer the avocado to the bowl.
- Add the diced tomato, red onion, red pepper flakes and lime juice. Toss to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Yum! Love adding avocado to fresh salsa!
Always a winner!
OMG yes!! This is how I make most of my salsas, why should the avocado get left out!! I say put it in ALL the things π
You always know how to take things up a notch, Gaby. Delish!
I could eat this all day long every day! Favorite foods indeed!
Two of my faves in one as well! Love this Gaby! Pinned and have a great weekend π
I like that your recipe is for a chunk salsa, I much prefer this that to the creamy version.
This is the best!! I want this at my next party!
Love, Love, Love all the flavor!!!!
This is such an awesome idea!! Love it!!
this is straight up AMAZING!! I could eat a gross amount of these chips and guacalsa- so delicious!
So i just made a 1/2 batch of this since I only have one avocado on hand. It may or may not have been my whole lunch. π I didn’t do the chips but it’s great with multigrain pretzel chips or whole grain pita chips. Thanks for the great recipe!
Craving this right now!
Perfection!!
I’m all for combining the two-and if anyone knows how to spike salsa with avocado-it’s you!
This is just screaming “get in mah bellah”.
This looks crazy good!
