You know my feelings about jalapeños. Love ’em, can’t get enough of ’em. Chopped into a taco, blistered and nestled inside a glorious grilled cheese with guacamole, candied and topping off a pulled pork slider, the limit doesn’t exist to how you can add jalapeños to a dish.
And like everything wonderful in this world, jalapeños positively shine in a cocktail. Skinnygirl Spicy Lime Margarita has the right combo of heat + zest, and when topped with fresh sliced jalapeño we’re in business.
Wait no, not yet.
Where there are margaritas, there HAS to be guacamole.
And, of course, tortilla chips.
I’m pretty certain it’s a law.
Let’s talk about these tortilla chips. They’re been years in the making, no joke.
You know those really great thoughts you have that you promise yourself you’ll try sometime? And then it never happens? Yup, just like that.
Since I first tried Trader Joe’s Habanero Lime Tortillas, I wished TJ’s would turn them into a tortilla chip. And by the time it occurred to me that I should just do it myself, the bag was empty. Every. Single. Time.
I can’t help how delicious tacos are!
But seriously, these habanero lime tortilla chips are just as wonderful as I dreamed they’d be.
Is it normal to dream about eating chips + guac? I hope so.
Using a pizza cutter, I created 6 triangles out of each tortilla and brushed olive oil onto both sides. Placing them on a baking sheet, I sprinkled salt and popped them into the oven at 350 for about 6-8 minutes or until crispy. Let cool and then use to scoop as much guac as possible.
Drink spicy lime margarita. Guac + repeat.
