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.

Whole Air Fried Cauliflower with a seasoned Mayo marinade

Whole Air Fried Cauliflower with a seasoned Mayo marinade

This was my first go making a Whole Air Fried Cauliflower and boy was I impressed. It was a fight here between my husband and I for the last few wedges. You wouldn’t think it would taste any different to just normal cooked Cauliflower but it does. The Mayo is a game changer. When I first started looking for recipe ideas I was like “Mayonnaise?!?! On Cauliflower?!?!” but WOW it was a flavour sensation and doesn’t taste anything like Mayo in the end.

Suggestion – If you steam or microwave the cauliflower first it cuts down the cooking time significantly

You don’t have to use the herbs I used, you can mix it up with whatever are your faves. I think fresh Thyme would be delicious, or even a homemade Basil pesto. YUM! The list is endless.

“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.
