To-easy Air Fried Tortilla Chips and Guacamole

To-easy Air Fried Tortilla Chips and Guacamole

 

Now this isn’t really a recipe as such (apart from the Guac) but my gosh they beat any unhealthy store bought chips. I used for Wholemeal tortillas for this version but white is completely fine. I’ve also noticed there are soooo many flavours in the wrap aisle now! Summer Herbs, Spinach, Barley, Gluten Free… All would be perfect!

Ingredients
  • 4 Tortilla Wraps
  • 1 Avocado
  • 1 Spring Onion
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1 small Tomato
  • 1 tablespoon Sweet Chilli Sauce
  • Juice of a Lime
  • Salt & Pepper
Directions
  • Step 1 Cut tortilla wraps into 8 wedges
  • Step 2 Place in the Air Fryer basket in a single layer. They may fly up so I always put a steaming wrack turned upside down on top to hold them down. Do them in batches for approx. 3-4 minutes.
  • Step 3 In the meantime crush Avocado with a fork until smooth
  • Step 4 Add finely sliced Spring Onion, crushed Garlic, diced Tomato and the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
  • Step 5 Cool chips slightly and enjoy!
Parmesan Encrusted Spiral Potatoes

Parmesan Encrusted Spiral Potatoes

Having an Irish hubby we have potatoes with 95% of our meals so they can get a bit boring lol. These are just delightful! They taste naughty which is just the way I like my food. After making these I went out and bought a spiraliser but unfortunately I got one that doesn’t quite live up to its name as it struggles with anything harder than a zucchini HA so hand cut is still my method of choice.

I put a long metal skewer through these and then put my knife at the top of the skewer and following the skewer I spiralled the knife downwards. If this seems all too hard then slicing the potatoes in fries instead would give a similar effect and taste.

“Cheats” Pizza

“Cheats” Pizza

These Pizza’s are perfect for those nights where the thought of cooking it just too much. We call these Fake-Away nights and they are some of my favourites. Of course you can whatever toppings suits. We tend to mix them up with each batch. Ham and Pineapple is usually my go to as I believe Pineapple DOES belong in a pizza ha! but Supreme is a good way of getting rid of a lot of the veg from the fridge that needs to be used up.

Yeast Free Bread with Cheese and Thyme

Yeast Free Bread with Cheese and Thyme

This was my first time making this bread. I must say I am EXTREMELY impressed!

I always like to make my hubby a flashy breaky on a Sunday morning as its the only day he gets off. This past Sunday I went to make him a big Air Fried breaky and realised we ran out of bread. Instead of waiting till 11 for the shops to open I decided to just make my own. I couldn’t believe how quick and easy this was to make! Lets just say hubby was impressed! He even liked it more than the normal everyday bread we get from the baker. I think it was the cheesy flavour and his absolute favourite herb is Thyme. He has it on everything!

I cooked this loaf in my 5.5l Kitchen Chef and I’m lucky enough to have found a bread tin with a sliding lid that fits perfectly in the base of the Air Fryer (with the basket taken out). When the Kitchen Chef first came out I managed to grab an extra accessories pack so I could unscrew one of the drawer handles. Works a treat and I don’t burn myself anymore!

This loaf is perfect warm with just butter but if you’re anything like us we have all the extras. I ended up Air Frying some shortcut bacon & homemade mexi beans (eggs were done on the stove as I ran out of room).
