Such a hit at parties! And I didn't feel guilty eating it, because I knew what was in it and knew that it was healthier than eating all the fatty chips and junk!
Guacamole with Chipotle Tortilla Chips

Chipotle chile powder gives the crunchy chips a smoky kick that pairs well with the buttery guacamole. Use ground cumin or regular chili powder in its place, if you prefer. Prepare the chips up to a day ahead, and store in a zip-top plastic bag.
