Corn Chips & Guacamole
One of my favorite raw food recipes for an after work treat has always been chips and guacamole. Trying to be healthier, I switched to blue corn chips with flax. Maybe a little healthier than some of the others, but still full of salt, with the nutrients baked right out of them. More empty calories. So, the challenge was to create a raw food recipe for chips that worked with my chunky guacamole and satisfied my salty, crunchy tooth. The answer to the challenge is raw corn chips!
Corn Chips and Guacamole
Raw Corn Chips
- 3 cups corn
- 1/4 onion
- 1/2 tablespoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- a pinch or two of celtic sea salt
- Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Spread on a teflex sheet on dehydrator tray. Score the mixture before you start to dehydrate.
- Dehydrate 12 hours at 115%, flip and dehydrate until fully dry and crisp. Break apart at score lines. Makes one sheet.
Guacamole
- 2 avocados, mashed
- 1 medium purple onion, diced
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 lime, juice from
- 1/2 small hot pepper, finely diced
- pinch of celtic sea salt
- Mix ingredients together. This makes a very chunky guacamole, which I like. Enjoy with the corn chips!

Looks delish. I love guacamole. However, 95 percent of corn is genetically modified which is not healthy. I’m experimenting with perfecting a raw crunchy suitable substitute. I also sometimes add a little raw hemp protein powder to my guacamole to make it even more nutritional. Love your recipe ideas..helps keep me going when I lack inspiration.

I don’t have a dehydrator as of yet, but even drying these in a regular oven on the lowest temp would certainly be better than “chips in a bag.” I’m going to try this recipe even though it won’t be considered raw. I hope to purchase a dehydrator soon–just trying to figure out there I’m going to store all of my new gadgets :-/…….10-cup food processor, vitamix, juicer, dehydrator??

Hi, Scotty, That certainly is an idea but since Rawmazing is not 100% raw, it might cause some problems here… 🙂
