Ingredients
Homemade Guacamole
- 6 ripe avocados (about 6 to 8 oz. each)
- 4 to 6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt , plus more to taste
- 2 minced garlic cloves (optional)
- 1 cup diced red onion
- ½ cup fresh cilantro
- 2 jalapeños , seeds removed and diced
Pumpkin Assembly
- 1 large carving pumpkin
Instructions
- Prepare the Guacamole: Cut the avocados in half and carefully remove the pit. Use a large spoon to scoop the avocado flesh out of the shell, then add it to a large bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until it looks relatively smooth.
- Add 4 tablespoons of lime juice, along with the salt, garlic, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno, if using. Continue to mash and stir the ingredients together. Taste the mixture and add another tablespoon of lime juice or an extra ¼ teaspoon of salt to boost the flavor. (My go-to ratio is 1 tablespoon of lime juice plus ¼ teaspoon of fine sea salt per large avocado used, but this may vary based on your taste buds and the type of salt used.) Serve the guacamole right away, or store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 72 hours.
- Carve the Pumpkin: Use a washable marker to draw the face on the pumpkin, starting with two V-shapes for the eyes and a big circle for the mouth. Use a sharp knife to cut the shapes out, creating the face.
- When ready to serve, arrange the jack-o-lantern on a large platter. Add the guacamole near its mouth, spooning some into the pumpkin's mouth so it looks like the pumpkin is responsible for making the dip. Arrange tortilla chips around it, and serve chilled.
