This easy homemade guacamole football recipe makes a perfect appetizer for your big game party — or any other game of the year.
Football season has officially begun.
Whether you’re a college fan or pro fan, you know that one thing is a must.
GAME DAY FOOD!
Beef chili, wings, nachos, and – of course – guacamole.
This football field guacamole is something you can set on the coffee table along with a bowl of chips so that everyone can dig in without having to miss a moment of the game.
How to Make Homemade Guacamole
As you will see, it is super simple to make guacamole at home.
If fact, make this easy homemade guacamole recipe just once and I bet that you’ll never go back to store-bought guac again.
Begin by gathering, and preparing, your ingredients. You will need:
- 4 avocados, seeded and scooped from peel
- 1 tomato, diced
- ¼ cup red onion, diced
- ¼ cup white onion, diced
- ½ of a jalapeno, seeded and finely diced*
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
- ½ tbsp salt
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup refried beans
The first step is to mash up those beautiful avocados. You can use a large fork or a wire whisk to mash those puppies up.
Then, add your other ingredients to the bowl and stir to mix well.
Making The Guacamole Football
Transfer guac into your serving dish and get ready to create your football field masterpiece.
Spoon sour cream into a plastic baggie and cut a very small hole in the corner. Use baggie to pipe sour cream onto guacamole to make yard lines.
Then, repeat the process with refried beans to create an outline of a football and fill in the football shape.
Use the back of a spoon to smooth over the beans to smooth out the football.
Pipe a bit more sour cream on top of the football to add the stitching.
Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
Tip: For a special treat, warm-up store-bought tortilla chips in the oven for a few minutes. Better yet, take the time to cut up some corn tortillas, brush with oil, and bake to make your tortilla chips. Either way, warm chips are always better!
