Instructions
- For Salsa Rosa Dip, combine ketchup and mayonnaise in small bowl. Set aside, refrigerated, until ready to serve.
- For Crunchy Guacamole Bites, in a medium bowl, combine avocados, 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) Becel® with Avocado Oil margarine, cilantro, jalapeño, red onion, cumin and fresh lime juice.
-
Working on a clean surface, roll 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) guacamole into a firmly formed ball. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Continue until all guacamole has been rolled into balls, then place in the freezer for 45 minutes to 1 hour to set.
- Once guacamole balls are set, add Becel® Oil to a medium size deep pot. Heat over medium-high heat to 350° F (180° C). While the oil is heating, prepare your dredging station. Melt remaining 1/2 cup (125 mL) margarine and place in a bowl. Place chickpea flour and crushed tortillas into separate bowls.
- Working with one guacamole ball at a time, roll it in chickpea flour, coating evenly. Dip into melted margarine, then coat with crushed tortillas. Ensure each ball is fully coated in a layer of tortilla crumbs.
-
When oil reaches temperature, carefully lower the guacamole balls into the oil, working in small batches as to not overcrowd the pot. Lightly fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. Carefully remove guacamole balls from the pot and place onto a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil. Serve hot with the Salsa Rosa dip!
