Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe avocados, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
For Decoration and Serving
- Tortilla chips
- Optional: Sour cream
- Optional: Refried black beans
- Optional: Ripe olives
Instructions
- Mash the Avocados: In a small bowl, use a fork to mash the peeled and cubed avocados until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
- Mix Ingredients: Stir the finely chopped onion, minced cilantro, lime juice, and salt into the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Shape the Guacamole: Spoon the guacamole onto a serving platter and carefully shape it into a rectangle, which will serve as the base of the Halloween face.
- Decorate the Face: Arrange tortilla chips near the top edge of the rectangle to resemble hair or a border. Use sour cream, refried black beans, and ripe olives to decorate the guacamole into a spooky Halloween face as desired.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Lime juice not only adds flavor but helps prevent the guacamole from browning.
- Feel free to customize the decoration with other ingredients like chopped tomatoes or jalapeños for extra color and heat.
- This guacamole is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.
