  4. Cut the pitta into any shape you want from wedges to strips and bake in single layers for 15 – 20 minutes or until slightly golden and crispy.
  5. While the pitta are cooking make the guacamole, scoop the flesh from the avocados and place in a medium bowl, roughly fork the avocado so it still has some chunks (you want a rustic look) add all the other ingredients, mix well then season with salt and the lemon or lime juice to taste.
  6. Serve right away while the pitta chips are still warm.

Tip:  If you don’t like too much chilli vary the flavours and try adding a little grated parmesan or ground coriander instead of chilli.
