00:00:02.242 --> 00:00:03.821
Hi.
You're watching Eating By Heart.
3
00:00:03.821 --> 00:00:04.535
I'm Colombe.
4
00:00:04.535 --> 00:00:06.509
And we're making guacamole and
chips today.
5
00:00:06.509 --> 00:00:09.858
[MUSIC]
6
00:00:09.858 --> 00:00:13.531
And this recipe is even more heart-healthy
because we're using less oil for
7
00:00:13.531 --> 00:00:14.103
the chips.
8
00:00:14.103 --> 00:00:17.320
So I'm starting out with
some brown rice tortillas.
9
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:19.702
Cut them into small pieces.
10
00:00:19.702 --> 00:00:26.750
All right and we're all set so toss these
with just a small amount of olive oil and
11
00:00:26.750 --> 00:00:29.820
olive oil is heart healthy
because it's monounsaturated fat.
12
00:00:29.820 --> 00:00:32.740
Beautiful, we'll sprinkle
a little sea salt and
13
00:00:32.740 --> 00:00:37.697
we're ready to pop these in the oven.
14
00:00:37.697 --> 00:00:41.970
So while our chips are getting crispy in
the oven, we'll start on our guacamole.
15
00:00:41.970 --> 00:00:44.490
I'm using this wonderful mortar and
pestle, and
16
00:00:44.490 --> 00:00:47.990
it's a great way to just mix
everything together at once.
17
00:00:47.990 --> 00:00:53.340
So I'm gonna start with some tomatoes,
some onions, red onions in this
18
00:00:53.340 --> 00:00:59.060
case some jalapeno pepper for
a little extra kick and some cilantro.
19
00:00:59.060 --> 00:01:01.710
And then avocado, the star of my show.
20
00:01:01.710 --> 00:01:05.150
This is such a great ingredient to use
when you're cooking for heart health.
21
00:01:05.150 --> 00:01:09.901
It's got lot's of fiber and
again it's mono-saturated fat.
22
00:01:09.901 --> 00:01:11.200
It's got lots of healthy fat.
23
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.700
You should use freely.
24
00:01:17.030 --> 00:01:18.340
Now I'm gonna mash my avocado.
25
00:01:18.340 --> 00:01:23.350
And once I've mashed it a little bit,
26
00:01:23.350 --> 00:01:27.450
I'm gonna go ahead and
put just a squeeze of lime.
27
00:01:27.450 --> 00:01:32.440
You can't have guacamole
without lime juice, right?
28
00:01:32.440 --> 00:01:36.900
So now I'm just gonna make that sure all
my ingredients at the bottom here are not
29
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:39.190
being forgotten.
30
00:01:41.970 --> 00:01:43.410
And I like a chunky guacamole, but
31
00:01:43.410 --> 00:01:47.250
if you like it more smooth in consistency
you can just mash it a little longer.
32
00:01:47.250 --> 00:01:48.960
But the chunks give it a more rustic feel,
33
00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:51.120
especially when you're using a mortar and
pestle.
34
00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:53.530
It's just about as simple as that.
35
00:01:53.530 --> 00:01:56.170
Let's check on our chips.
36
00:01:56.170 --> 00:01:57.060
They're nice and crispy.
37
00:01:59.350 --> 00:02:01.380
This looks delicious.
38
00:02:01.380 --> 00:02:02.780
Just gonna dig right in.
39
00:02:04.892 --> 00:02:09.851
This is the perfect classic
guacamole recipe, and
40
00:02:09.851 --> 00:02:13.650
I love the brown rice chips with them.
41
00:02:13.650 --> 00:02:14.710
So much healthier too.
42
00:02:16.920 --> 00:02:19.200
Thanks for watching Eating By Heart.
43
00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:22.030
