Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams tortilla chips
- 2 pieces ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 pieces red onion
- 10 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 150 grams skyr (Icelandic yogurt)
- 100 grams smoked salmon or Arctic char
- 2 teaspoons capers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Lay the tortilla chips evenly on a large serving platter or baking sheet for easy topping distribution.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
Add the fresh lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine and set aside.
Finely chop the dill and red onion. Slice the cherry tomatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In a small bowl, combine the skyr with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, stirring until smooth. This creates a creamy drizzle that adds tanginess to the nachos.
Cut the smoked salmon or Arctic char into bite-sized pieces for easy topping.
Begin assembling the nachos: Spoon the guacamole over the tortilla chips in evenly distributed dollops.
Add small pieces of smoked salmon or Arctic char across the chips, ensuring each chip has a piece for balanced flavor.
Sprinkle the chopped red onion, capers, and cherry tomatoes across the nachos for a burst of color and flavor.
Drizzle the prepared skyr mixture over the nachos using a spoon or a small piping bag for precision.
Finish by garnishing the dish with chopped dill for a fresh, herbal touch.
Serve immediately as a snack or appetizer. Pair with a chilled drink to complement the bright, tangy flavors of the nachos.
