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!

I love that there’s no flax in it too! YAY! Just found your site tonight, snowed in during Iowa’s first blizzard of the year, and dying to try several recipes!

Susan,
I am a Guacamole Fiend.
thanks for the recipe. One can try using a small
Thai bird’s-eye chili – but VERY hot so caution!

I also love that there is no flax!!!!
I use almond meal in mine, maybe that’s the chunky part?

Hey there, do you use frozen corn? Matthew Kenny says it works best, that is what I used. Yours look really nice, mine are a bit chunky looking!
I did add bell pepper and a bit of red onion. I think getting the batter super smooth and spreading it very thinly are the keys!

Thanks, for the great new recipe. We make guacamole all the time (with Tabasco sauce), but chips have always been a problem- not healthy. Now we have a healthy alternative!
