Crunchy salty tortilla chips and creamy guacamole are impressive when they’re freshly made at home.

Why try? Fresh corn chips are so easy and you won’t believe how much better they are than the packaged type!

Foodie Byte: The guacamole we at The FoodChannel test kitchens recommend can be found in the refrigerated section of your grocery store. This product is superb on its own but when you add fresh pieces of tomato and onion, everyone will think it’s completely from scratch.

If the guacamole was freshly made I would be impressed. Elsie
