Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 piece garlic clove (minced)
- 1 piece jalapeño (seeded and finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
- 10 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 10 pieces black olives (sliced into rings)
- 1 bag tortilla chips (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Mash the avocados with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
Add lime juice, salt, minced garlic, chopped jalapeño, and cilantro to the mashed avocados. Mix until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or jalapeño for extra flavor or spice.
Spread the guacamole onto a serving plate or shallow dish, smoothing it out evenly.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and place the cut side up onto the guacamole, spacing them out to look like 'eyes'.
Place one black olive ring in the center of each cherry tomato half to create the 'pupil' of the eye.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or your favorite dippers, and enjoy the spooky presentation!
