Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large avocados
- 1 medium lime
- 2 small peppers chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 large garlic clove
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup, chopped cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 8 whole (for decoration) black olives
- 1 bag (for serving) blue corn tortilla chips
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Juice the lime and add it to the bowl with the avocados to prevent browning and add tanginess.
Finely chop the chipotle peppers and add them to the bowl, along with a small spoonful of the adobo sauce for extra smokiness.
Grate or finely mince the garlic clove and add it to the bowl.
Dice the red onion finely and add it to the mixture.
Add the chopped cilantro, smoked paprika, and salt to the mixing bowl.
Mash all the ingredients together using a fork or a potato masher until you reach your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning with more lime juice or salt as needed.
Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl. For a spooky presentation, use black olives to create 'spider shapes' on top of the guacamole (slice some olives in half for bodies and use thin strips for legs).
Serve alongside blue corn tortilla chips for a Halloween-ready snack with dark and smoky vibes!
