Soccer Field of Guacamole
Description:
Show your team spirit and bring the crowd to its feet with this super-size dip.
Ingredients:
- 6 ripe, Fresh Hass Avocados, seeded, peeled, cut in chunks
- 3 limes, juice only
- 2 tsp. salt, or to taste
- 1 medium sweet white onion, diced
- 2 large ripe Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 2 medium fresh jalapeño peppers, seeded if desired, diced
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
- 2 cups Mexican-blend finely grated cheese, or finely grated cheddar
- 1 pint sour cream
- Food coloring for team colors (optional)
- Colorful tortilla chips for dipping
Instructions:
- Mash avocados with lime juice and salt in large bowl, until just creamy. Add diced onion, tomatoes, jalapeños and cilantro and combine gently. Stir in grated cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if desired. In a glass 9x13 (rectangular) pan, spread mixture evenly and smoothly.
- Place sour cream in a zipper bag and squeeze carefully to let all air escape before sealing. Squeeze all the sour cream to one corner and snip a tiny hole in the bottom of that corner. Now use the bag as a pastry bag to pipe on the design of a soccer field as shown in the photo. Place one yellow and one red tomato in each "goal" area, then place the remaining tomatoes on the field to represent additional players. If the tomatoes are small enough you may be able to place 11 of each color to represent a full soccer team, otherwise use just enough to covey the soccer theme.Tuck a few tortilla chips around the edges of the pan to add color and eye-appeal. Place remaining chips in a serving basket. Serve and watch your guests tear up the field!
Serving Suggestions:
Great for dipping but can also be served as part of a taco or burrito bar. Beverage Pairing Suggestion:
Match your beverage with the occasion: cold beer for the game with adult friends, margaritas for a party and juice boxes for the kids.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
