This fun and festive Halloween appetizer uses a carved pumpkin as a serving bowl for guacamole. The guacamole is made with avocados, lime juice, salsa, onion, garlic, cilantro, and seasonings, then spooned out of the pumpkin's mouth. Serve with tortilla chips arranged on the plate for a creepy-crawly snack.

Ingredients

3 avocados

1 lime (, juiced)

2 Tablespoons salsa

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion (, can omit if desired)

1 clove garlic (, minced)

1/4 cup cilantro

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

Dash ground black pepper

Directions

Cut 3 avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl using a spoon.

Add the juice of 1 lime, 2 tablespoons salsa, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/4 cup cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and a dash of black pepper. Mash with a fork until you reach your desired consistency.

Set the carved pumpkin on a rectangular plate. Spoon the guacamole so it appears to be coming out of the pumpkin's mouth. Arrange tortilla chips on both sides.
