These zippy wedges disappear quickly at parties, remarks Rhonda Black of Salinas, California. Mellow avocados and cheese balance the spicy peppers. Ingredients:
oil for deep-fat frying |
1 dozen corn tortillas (6 inches), quartered |
3 ripe avocados, peeled and mashed |
3 tablespoons mayonnaise |
1 medium onion, diced |
1 medium tomato, diced |
2 jalapeno peppers, chopped |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded monterey jack, colby-jack or cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat 1 in. of oil to 375°. Fry the tortilla wedges, a few at a time, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
2. For guacamole, combine the avocados, mayonnaise, onion, tomato and jalapenos in a bowl. Place tortillas on ungreased baking sheets. Top each with a tablespoon of guacamole. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 dozen.
