Description

Creamy, light green guacamole traditionally made with avocado, lime, red onion, and fresh cilantro, served with homemade, crispy tortilla pieces. This snack is inspired by Mexican cuisine, infused with a Polish twist of seasonal ingredients — perfect for a Halloween party thanks to its vibrant green color and the possibility of creating decorative 'eyes' or spiders with sour cream and chili. The guacamole is both delicate and aromatic: juicy lime and cumin highlight the richness of the avocado, while fresh tomatoes and onion add texture. Serve as an appetizer for parties, soups, roasted meats, or as a healthy snack. Visually striking, quick, and easy to serve — it also works great in a spicy version or with sour cream for contrast.

Preparation steps

Guacamole - preparing the ingredients

1

Wash the lime, cilantro, and tomato under cold water. Peel the onion and trim the ends. Peel the garlic cloves. Cut the tomato in half and use a spoon to remove the seeds and excess juice (leave the flesh). Dice the tomato into small cubes — it should be without excess liquid.

Ingredients: Lime, Coriander, Tomato, Red onion, Garlic
Use a cutting board and a sharp knife. Removing the seeds from the tomato will prevent the guacamole from becoming watery.

Guacamole - cutting the avocado

2

Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, sliding the knife around the pit. Carefully remove the pit with a spoon or by striking it with the knife blade and pulling it out (be cautious). Scoop the flesh from the half into a large bowl with a spoon. Cut the flesh into larger pieces with a knife in the bowl before mashing — this will make it easier to control the texture.

Ingredients: Avocado
Use a stable cutting board and a sharp knife. If the pit is attached, gently tap it with the blade and remove it by hand or with a spoon. Be careful not to cut yourself.

Guacamole - flavoring

3

Grate the zest of one lime thinly over a bowl (be careful not to grate the white part), then cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl. Add finely chopped red onion, finely chopped garlic, tomato flesh, and chopped cilantro (save some leaves for garnish). Add cumin and 2 g of salt, along with a pinch of pepper. Pour in a tablespoon of rapeseed oil.

Ingredients: Lime, Red onion, Garlic, Tomato, Coriander, cumin, Salt, Black pepper, Rapeseed oil
Use a grater to zest the lime and a manual juicer for the juice. Add salt gradually — it's better to add more later than to over-salt.

Guacamole - mashing and adjusting the flavor

4

Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado in a bowl to your desired consistency — 1–2 minutes for creamy, 3–4 minutes for smoother. Combine the mashed avocado with the prepared mixture from the previous step and mix well. Taste and season with lime juice and salt if needed. The guacamole should be creamy, with noticeable chunks of vegetables.

Ingredients: Avocado, Lime, Red onion, Garlic, Tomato, Coriander, cumin, Salt, Black pepper, Rapeseed oil
Use a large bowl and a fork or a manual masher. If you want super smooth guacamole, use a blender in pulses, but be careful not to change the color to brown.

Guacamole - optional toppings

5

If you want spicy guacamole, finely chop the green chili pepper and add it gradually, mixing and tasting. Additionally, you can add sour cream as a decoration: use a small spoon to place the cream in several spots and gently create a 'web' or 'dots' with a toothpick.

Ingredients: green chili pepper, sour cream
Add the pepper drop by drop — the spiciness varies significantly. When working with chili, wash your hands thoroughly and avoid touching your eyes.

Tortilla - preparation

6

Preheat the oven to 200°C with convection. Place the tortilla wraps on a board, stack them on top of each other, and using a knife or slicer, cut into triangles into 6–8 wedges (you will get 6–8 chips from one wrap). Spread the triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer, do not overlap them.

Ingredients: Wheat tortilla
Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife and a large baking sheet. Even distribution will ensure uniform crispiness.

Tortilla - baking

7

Lightly brush each piece with rapeseed oil (you can use a spray). Sprinkle with a thin layer of salt and a bit of cumin, if you like. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 8–12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the chips become crispy. Remove and let cool for a few minutes (the firmness and crunchiness will increase as they cool).

Ingredients: Wheat tortilla, Rapeseed oil, cumin, Salt
The best is a large baking tray and convection; check the baking from the 8th minute and rotate the tray if the oven has uneven heat distribution.

Serving and decoration

8

Transfer the guacamole to a shallow bowl or a flat plate. If you are using sour cream, dollop it on and use your finger or a toothpick to create Halloween decorations (eye sockets, spider webs). Garnish with a few cilantro leaves and slices of chili pepper (if using). Arrange tortilla chips around the bowl or in a separate dish. Serve immediately — best fresh and green.

Ingredients: Avocado, sour cream, green chili pepper, Coriander, Wheat tortilla
Use a flat bowl with a diameter of about 18–22 cm, so guests can comfortably dip the chips. Guacamole darkens quickly — drizzle with extra lime juice and cover with plastic wrap touching the surface if you set it aside.

Final Tips

9

Serve the guacamole immediately after preparation, with baked tortilla chips. For a larger gathering, prepare separate bowls, pressing plastic wrap against the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Ingredients: Avocado, Wheat tortilla
For a larger number of guests, increase the proportions and bake the tortillas on several trays. Do not leave the guacamole at room temperature for more than a few hours.

Fun Fact

💡

Guacamole has pre-Columbian roots — the Aztecs consumed mashed avocado as early as the 16th century. The name comes from the Nahuatl language: 'ahuacamolli' (avocado + sauce).

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve guacamole in a wide, shallow bowl sprinkled with a bit of chopped cilantro. Decorate with sour cream in the shape of 'eyes' or a 'spiderweb' for a Halloween effect. Serve with warm, freshly baked chips and extra lime wedges.

🥡 Storage

Store in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap touching the surface or in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. To minimize browning, sprinkle the surface with lime juice before covering. Store the chips separately in an airtight container for up to 2 days — they lose their crunch after a longer time.
