Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Shazam!
2 cups All purpose flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1 tablespoon Lard or shortening
½ each To 3/4 cup warm water (110F)
Oil
Salt to taste
2 mediums Avocados, seeded, peeled and cut up
½ small Onion, cut up
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
1 each Clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Pepper

Directions

In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and baking powder.

Cut in the lard until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Add ½ cup of water and stir until the dough can be gathered into a ball. If needed, add more water, 1 tbsp at a time. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes. Divide the dough into 12 portions and shape into balls.

Turn onto a lightly floured board and roll each ball into a 7 inch round. Trim uneven edges to make round tortillas. STack the rounds and cut the stack into 6 wedges. In a deep skillet heat ½ inch of oil. Fry the wedges a few at a time for about 45 seconds, or until they are crisp and lightly browned. Drain well on paper toweling.

Sprinkle the chips lightly with salt. In a blender container, combine the remaining ingredients. Cover and blend until well combined.
