Ingredients

  • 6 ripe, Fresh Hass Avocados, seeded, peeled, cut in chunks

  • 3 limes, juice only

  • 2 tsp. garlic salt

  • 1 tsp fresh ground pepper

  • 1 medium red onion, diced very small

  • 2 large ripe Roma tomatoes, seeded, diced

  • 2 cups Mexican-blend finely grated cheese, or finely grated Cheddar

  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves

  • 2 tablespoons of garlic, pressed 

  • 1 pt. sour cream

  • 11 whole pitted olives

  • 11 grape or cherry tomatoes 

  • Colorful tortilla chips for dipping

Instructions:

  1. Mash avocados with lime juice and garlic salt in large bowl, until just creamy. Add diced onion and cilantro combine aggressively (this releases the oils in the cilantro, add tomatoes and stir in gently.  Taste and adjust seasoning with more garlic salt if desired. In a glass 9x13 (rectangular) pan, spread mixture evenly and smoothly.
  2. Fill the glass pan with the guacamole first, add the salsa in one end zone, add the cheese in the other end zone. 
  3. 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 your design. Use plain white to pipe on the yard lines.  Use small  red grape or cherry tomatoes and olives and arrange in a football formation.
  4. 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!
