Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1 cup ripe mango, diced (Ataulfo or Honey mango preferred)
  • 1 small habanero pepper, finely minced (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Salt to taste (preferably kosher salt)
  • 4 large corn tortillas, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon Tajin seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • Salt to taste for chips

Instructions

  1. Dice the mango into small, uniform cubes and finely mince the habanero pepper. Use gloves or wash hands thoroughly after handling.
  2. Finely chop the red onion and cilantro; set aside.
  3. Place peeled avocados in a mixing bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher to desired consistency.
  4. Add fresh lime juice and salt to the mashed avocado; mix well to brighten flavor and prevent browning.
  5. Gently fold in diced mango, minced habanero, red onion, and cilantro. Adjust salt and lime juice to taste.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut corn tortillas into wedges and toss with olive oil, Tajin seasoning, lime zest, and a pinch of salt.
  7. Spread tortilla wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chips are crisp and golden. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  9. Allow chips to cool slightly to crisp up further. Serve immediately alongside the mango habanero guacamole.

Notes

Wear gloves when handling habanero peppers to avoid irritation. Do not overbake chips as they can burn quickly. Gently fold ingredients to keep mango chunks intact and prevent avocado from becoming mushy. For milder heat, substitute habanero with jalapeño or omit pepper. Store guacamole with plastic wrap pressed on surface to minimize browning and consume within 24 hours. Chips can be stored up to 3 days but lose crispness quickly.
