Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe avocados, creamy and soft
  • 1 cup fresh mango, diced (ripe but firm)
  • 1 small habanero pepper, roasted or fresh depending on heat preference
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste (preferably kosher salt)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, a pinch
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, to smooth texture)
  • 6–8 white corn tortillas, cut into triangles (for chips)
  • Vegetable oil for frying or spraying (for chips)
  • Salt to sprinkle on chips

Instructions

  1. Roast the habanero pepper on a dry skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally for about 5 minutes until the skin blisters slightly. Let cool, then finely chop. Use gloves or wash hands thoroughly after handling.
  2. Prepare the chips: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot (around 350°F), fry tortilla triangles in batches, flipping once, until golden and crisp, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt immediately. Alternatively, bake chips at 375°F for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway.
  3. In a mixing bowl, scoop out avocado flesh and mash lightly with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
  4. Fold in diced mango and finely chopped red onion.
  5. Stir in roasted habanero and minced garlic evenly. Taste carefully and adjust heat if desired.
  6. Add fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  7. If guacamole is too thick, drizzle in olive oil a little at a time and stir to creamy texture.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning: add more habanero for heat or lime juice for tang if needed.
  9. Serve immediately in a bowl surrounded by crispy tortilla chips.

Notes

Roasting the habanero mellows the heat without losing flavor. For milder heat, remove seeds or substitute with jalapeño. Baking chips is a healthier alternative to frying. Add mango and habanero just before serving if preparing ahead to keep flavors fresh. Store leftovers with plastic wrap pressed on surface to prevent browning.
