Method

Roughly mash avocado while mixing in red onion, water chestnuts,& lime juice, minced cilantro, garlic, cumin, five spice, oil and salt, making a coarse, thick and creamy mixture. Set aside while preparing crisps.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Slice each pita bread into 8 wedges (like a pie).

Gently separate each wedge by pulling it apart three-fourths of the way.

Combine cumin, paprika, five spice, garlic powder, sesame seeds and salt in a small bowl.

Spray each pita crisp lightly with oil. Immediately sprinkle with spice mixture to coat lightly.

Transfer to a baking sheet.

Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to burn spices or they will be bitter.

Let cool slightly and transfer to a platter.

Garnish guacamole with cilantro sprigs and sliced green onions.

Serve chilled or at room temperature with pita crisps.

Pita crisps will keep for a month stored in an airtight container. If they lose their crispness, warm in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
