Guacamole Tortilla Cups
 
 
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 4-5 whole wheat flour tortillas
  • 2 ripened avocados
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of chili powder (optional)
  • ¼ cup diced grape tomatoes
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Use a 2-3" round cookie or biscuit cutter to cut rounds from the tortillas.
  3. Press a tortilla round into a cup of a mini muffin pan. Repeat for the rest of the tortilla rounds.
  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the tortilla cups are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack.
  5. Meanwhile, make the guacamole. Scoop the avocado out into a medium mixing bowl. Add the onion, lime juice, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder and chili powder. Using a sharp knife, cut through the avocado in the bowl until it is a small dice.
  6. When the tortilla cups are cool, spoon a heaping teaspoon into each cup. Top with the diced tomatoes.
Notes
You will need 24 rounds of tortilla so you may need more of less tortillas depending on the size of your tortillas and the size of your cookie cutter.
