Recipe by Binging with Babish

A whimsical, edible sombrero made from a sturdy tortilla chip that you can wear while scooping guacamole. Inspired by Despicable Me 2, this Mexican‑style snack combines masa harina, all‑purpose flour, and lard for a crisp yet flexible chip, deep‑fried to golden perfection and filled with a chunky, lime‑bright guacamole.
