Best Avocado Tortilla Chip Rounds Recipes

GRILLED SEA SCALLOPS ON TORTILLA CHIPS WITH AVOCADO PUREE AND JALAPENO PESTO 2

Steps:

• Heat a grill to high.
• Brush the scallops on both sides with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the scallops until golden brown and slightly charred and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and slice in half into 2 coins.
• Spread about a tablespoon of Avocado Puree over each chip. Top the puree with a scallop, grill-side up, and top each scallop with a dollop of the Jalapeno Pesto. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
• Combine the cilantro, onions, oil, lime juice and avocado in a food processor and process until combined, but still chunky. Puree until smooth if desired. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the cilantro, pine nuts, jalapeno, garlic, and some salt and pepper in a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, slowly add the oil and process until emulsified. Scrape into a bowl.

BAKED AVOCADO CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Mash the avocado into a paste until no visible avocado chunks or bits remain. Stir in the Parmesan until completely incorporated.
• Scoop the avocado mixture in tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each mound at least 4 inches apart. Spray your fingertips or the back of a spoon with nonstick spray and pat one mound into a thin, 3-inch disc; wipe off your fingertips or spoon. Repeat spraying your fingertips, patting each mound and wiping off your fingertips for the remaining mounds.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle each chip with everything bagel seasoning. Rotate the baking sheets and continue to bake until the edges of the chips are deep brown and the tops start to turn golden brown, 6 to 10 more minutes. The outer chips will cook more quickly, so feel free to remove those first as they're done. Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes. Store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

SHRIMP AND AVOCADO TORTILLA ROUNDS

Steps:

• Fill a skillet with enough salted water to reach 1/2 inch up the side and bring the water to a boil. Add the shrimp and simmer them, covered, shaking the skillet occasionally, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they are pink and just firm. Transfer the shrimp with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice water, discard the shells, and halve the shrimp lengthwise, deveining them. The shrimp may be prepared up to 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
• Peel and pit the avocados and in a bowl mash them with a fork. Add the salt, the cayenne, the lemon juice, and the tomatoes and combine the mixture well.
• Just before serving spread the tortilla chips with the avocado mixture, top the mixture with half a shrimp, and garnish each hors d'oeuvres with 1 of the parsley leaves if desired.
