Ingredients

• Potato Chips
For the guacamole:
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 tomato, very finely diced
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 1 garlic clove, pressed
• Salt
• Pepper
preparation
➊ Halve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon and mash it with a fork to form a fine puree. Add the diced tomatoes, lemon juice and garlic and mix everything together. Season with salt and pepper.
➋ Remove the fat from the tri tip, salt it and grill it whole on both sides for 3 – 5 minutes over high heat – if you have one, use the steak zone on your grill.
➌ Cut the ciabatta lengthways and grill the cut surfaces. Cut the meat and cheese into slices. Spread the cheese slices on the meat and grill everything again slightly indirectly.
➍ Spread guacamole on the bottom half of the ciabatta and top with wild herb salad. Distribute the meat/cheese slices on top and place the ciabatta lid on top. Decorate with a few potato chips.
