Enter individual chips and dips. One mouthful, loaded with flavor and ready to eat.

These tortilla chips are loaded with delicious creamy avocado, charred corn, chopped tomato, green onion and a sprinkles of queso fresco.

What is queso fresco?

Queso fresco, literally translates as ‘fresh cheese’, and you usually find it you find crumbled over enchiladas, tostadas and refried black beans.
It has a mild flavour and a soft crumbly texture. It is easily found in supermarkets across the US. But here in Australia it is a little harder to find, but I did find some last week in the supermarket rather than having to head to the farmers market! But usually you have to look in specialist delis.

What to use if you can't find queso fresco?

If you can't find queso fresco, then there are a few options for you:

• You can make it yourself following this method from Mary over at the Goodie Godmother.
• You can use the Indian cheese paneer. Just be sure to sprinkle it with a little salt as it isn't quite as salty as queso fresco.
• Alternatively use a mild feta like a french or danish feta.

Can you make these in advance?

These fully loaded tortilla chips can be made a couple of hours in advance. After that, even with a spritz of lime the avocado starts to discolour. If you can find them, use shepard avocados, they will stay green for longer.

The tortilla chip will soften under the toppings, to ensure you still get that crunch from your chips and dip combo, make sure there is plenty of edges not covered with the avocado.

Can I use frozen corn or does it need to be fresh?

Go for you life and use frozen corn. It is easier and doesn't make so much mess. I usually get it out of the freezer and throw it straight into my hot frying pan...there is a little spitting but nothing to life threatening 😉

Obviously if you have a glut of fresh corn then use that.....and if you can find purple corn, it would love AMAZING on these fully loaded tortilla chips.
