Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe avocados
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, packed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 1 Roma tomato, seeded and diced (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Large tortilla chips (for fangs and serving)
  • Sliced black olives (for garnish, optional)
  • Sour cream (for garnish, optional)
  • Smoked paprika (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the avocados: Cut each avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
  2. Make the ‘secret green’ base: In a blender or food processor, combine the packed cilantro and fresh lime juice. Blend until the cilantro is completely broken down into a bright green liquid, about 15-20 seconds.
  3. Mash the avocados: Pour the cilantro-lime mixture over the avocados. Add the salt and pepper. Using a fork or potato masher, mash to your desired consistency (about 80% smooth, 20% chunky).
  4. Add the mix-ins: Fold in the diced red onion, minced jalapeño, diced tomato (if using), and minced garlic. Stir gently until evenly distributed. Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed.
  5. Assemble the ‘Green Goblin’ face: Transfer the guacamole to a serving platter or shallow bowl. Spread into an even layer with a slightly raised center. Use a spoon to create two indentations for the eyes.
  6. Add the tortilla fangs: Take large tortilla chips and gently press them into the guacamole at an angle, creating a jagged ‘mouth’ across the lower half of the dip. Use about 6-8 chips for a full grin.
  7. Garnish and serve: For the eyes, place two sliced black olives in the indentations. Add a dollop of sour cream on top of each olive for a creepy white pupil effect. Sprinkle a little smoked paprika around the edges for a ‘bloody’ look if desired. Serve immediately with extra chips on the side.

Notes

For the best color, blend the cilantro with lime juice rather than chopping it. Use ripe but not overripe avocados. If making ahead, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning. Use sturdy, restaurant-style chips for the fangs to prevent them from breaking. Serve at room temperature for best flavor.
