Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly. You can either peel them or leave the skins on for extra texture.
- Cut the potatoes into wedges. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
3. Season the Potatoes:
- Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a sprinkle of your favorite spices such as paprika, garlic powder, or chili powder for extra flavor.
4. Bake the Potatoes:
- Arrange the coated potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
- While the potatoes are baking, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth.
- Add the lemon juice to the mashed avocado to prevent it from browning and to add a tangy flavor.
- Dice the tomato into small pieces and mix it into the avocado.
- Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside.
- Once the potato wedges are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Arrange the wedges on a serving platter.
- Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese generously over the top of the wedges.
- Spoon dollops of the avocado-tomato mixture over the cheese-covered wedges.
8. Serve:
- Serve immediately while the cheese is still melty and the wedges are warm. Enjoy your flavorful Mexican Nacho Wedges with a side of salsa or sour cream if desired!
Tips:
- Make sure to cut the potato wedges evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- Toss the potato wedges in olive oil thoroughly to get them evenly coated, which ensures they crisp up nicely in the oven.
- Mash the avocado with lemon juice for a fresh and tangy guacamole topping.
- Grate the cheddar cheese fresh for the best melt and flavor.
- Feel free to add additional toppings such as jalapenos, sour cream, or chopped onions to customize your nacho wedges.
In conclusion, Mexican Nacho Wedges are an easy-to-make, tasty treat that will add a touch of Mexican flair to your meals.
