homemade tortilla chips with guacamole

Homemade tortilla chips with guacamole is a recipe I make all the time with my boys. It keeps them busy for a good half hour and the end result is a really healthy, delicious snack or becomes part of their dinner. 

How to keep things fun

Try not to interfere beyond setting everything up, talking them through the steps and the knife bits. Don’t attempt this when you’re on the clock or you’ll end up getting stressed and they won’t get into it. I find it easier to sit them at the kitchen table and lay out all the kit and ingredients along with the recipe.

Encourage children to taste as they go and help them learn what happens when they add seasoning – not just salt but herbs and lime. Get them to think of other things they could serve the chips and guacamole with.
