🍽 Equipment
Let's talk about the equipment. If you are not grabbing fries from your favorite restaurant, you have three options: an oven, a deep fryer (or saucepan), or an air fryer to cook your fries. If you're going for the oven, you'll also need a trusty baking sheet by your side.
To make those delicious dips, grab a couple of small bowls and a fork for mashing the avocado and mixing the tomato dip. And let's not forget about the garnish! You'll need some fresh cilantro and lime slices to give your dish that extra pop of color and flavor. If cilantro isn't your jam, no worries! You can use any fresh herb you fancy.
As you can see, you don't need a ton of fancy equipment to make this recipe. It's super simple and easy to whip up with just a few basic kitchen staples.
