Star of Party

I have been making guacamole from scratch for quite a long time.  The keys are always fresh ingredients and last minute preparation!  I usually make my own pico: tomatoes, white onion, jalapenos pepper, garlic powder, garlic salt, lime juice, cilantro and this is the key ingredient to my guacamole.  However, this post is about how to make a quick bring along appetizer that will be the "Star" of any party. 

Your shopping list:
Grocery store "Pico de gallo"
5 avocados
1 lime
1 bag 12 flour tortillas

What to do:
heat 1/4 to 1/2 inch canola/olive oil in pan till wooden spoon bubbles or 350 degrees
slice flour torts all at once into eights (like a pizza pie)
fry in oil till brown flipping as needed and dry on paper towel (don't forget to season before they dry)
cut avocados in half flipping seed out with knife and score half's of 5 avocados into 1/2 chunks but not cutting through the peal
Use spoon to spoon out avocado chunks into bowl
add approximately 1 avocado of pico with juice of one lime into bowl
mash ingredients just a few times to mix
seal w/double layer of plastic wrap
bag chips and go be the #foodie "Star" of the Party!
