Ingredients
  

  • 4 Ripe Avocados ripe
  • Juice from ½ of a Lime
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 can Rotel drained
  • 1 tbsp Minced Garlic about 2-3 large cloves
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro chopped
  • Sour Cream
  • 4-5 Flour Tortillas

Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Fork
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 Serving bowl
  • 1 Ziploc bag or piping bag
  • 1 Scissors
  • 3 Plastic spiders
  • 4 Halloween cookie cutters
  • 1 Serving Platter

Instructions
 

For the guacamole:
  1. Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the avocados into a large bowl. Add the lime juice, salt, Rotel, minced garlic, cilantro and the salt.
  2. Mash the avocados in the mixture using the back of a fork until you achieve the desired consistency.
  3. Stir with a spatula until incorporated.
  4. Spoon the guacamole dip into a serving bowl and smooth the surface of the guacamole with your spatula.
  5. Place your sour cream in a ziploc bag (or piping bag), cut a small hole in one of the corners and pipe your spiderweb on top of the dip. (Start by making a cross, then two lines creating an X shape. Connect the straight lines with three swooping lines in each section.)
  6. Place your plastic spiders on top of the dip.
For the chips:
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Using your cookie cutters, cut shapes out of the tortillas. Place them flat on a cookie sheet, spritz with olive oil or cooking spray, and sprinkle with salt.
  3. Bake for about 10 minutes while keeping a close eye on the chips so they don't burn. If the chips start to curl, flip them over during baking.
Assembly:
  1. Place the bowl with the guacamole on your serving platter and scatter the spooky chips around the dip.
  2. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Choose ripe avocados by squeezing the avocado gently and if the avocado gives a little when you squeeze it but doesn't cave in, it is probably ripe.
  • Watch chips closely while baking so they don't burn. If they start to curl, flip them halfway through baking.
