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

Directions

Step 1

Lay the tortilla chips evenly on a large serving platter or baking sheet for easy topping distribution.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the fresh lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine and set aside.

Step 4

Finely chop the dill and red onion. Slice the cherry tomatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Cut the smoked salmon or Arctic char into bite-sized pieces for easy topping.

Step 7

Begin assembling the nachos: Spoon the guacamole over the tortilla chips in evenly distributed dollops.

Step 8

Add small pieces of smoked salmon or Arctic char across the chips, ensuring each chip has a piece for balanced flavor.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped red onion, capers, and cherry tomatoes across the nachos for a burst of color and flavor.

Step 10

Drizzle the prepared skyr mixture over the nachos using a spoon or a small piping bag for precision.

Step 11

Finish by garnishing the dish with chopped dill for a fresh, herbal touch.

Step 12

Serve immediately as a snack or appetizer. Pair with a chilled drink to complement the bright, tangy flavors of the nachos.
