INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (such as Mexican blend)

  • 1 avocado, mashed

  • Juice of 1/2 lime

  • 1 teaspoon diced jalapeño

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

  • Salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. Add 1/4 cup mounds of shredded cheese to the pan, leaving plenty of space between them, and bake until the edges are brown and the middles have fully melted, about 7 minutes.

  3. Set the pan on a cooling rack and let the cheese chips cool for 5 minutes. The chips will be floppy when they first come out of the oven but will crisp as they cool.

  4. To make the guacamole, in a medium bowl, mix together the avocado, lime juice, jalapeño and cilantro and season with pink Himalayan salt and pepper.

  5. Top the cheese ships with the guacamole and serve.
