Oven-Baked Nachos & Guacamole

This homemade guacamole with crispy oven-baked nachos is proof that simple ingredients can deliver great flavour. The tortillas bake up golden and crunchy, while the guac brings creamy texture, healthy fats, fibre, and natural micronutrients. It’s a quick snack or appetiser you can whip up in minutes for the whole family.

Helpful Tips

Storage

Store leftover guacamole in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent browning. Keep in the fridge for up to 1 day. Baked nacho chips can be stored in an airtight container for 2–3 days.

Substitutions

  • Tortillas: Swap for wholemeal or gluten-free tortillas.
  • Red onion: Replace with spring onion for a milder flavour.
  • Tomatoes: Use cherry tomatoes if you want a sweeter guac or omit entirely for a smoother dip.
  • Coriander: Add coriander or parsley

Serving Suggestions

  • Add grilled chicken or black beans on the side for extra protein.
  • Serve as part of a grazing board with salsa, corn ribs, or Greek yoghurt dip. Perfect for game day, BBQs, or as a quick pre-dinner snack.
