Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup tomatoes, diced
- 12 mini tortilla cups
- 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
- 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, cut into small strips
- Green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Scoop out the avocados into a mixing bowl. Mash them with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Stir in lime juice, salt, garlic, onion, and diced tomatoes. If using food coloring, add a few drops and mix well.
- Spoon or pipe the guacamole into the mini tortilla cups, filling them generously.
- Arrange sliced black olives along the top edge of each cup to mimic Frankenstein’s iconic flat-top hairstyle.
- Push a cherry tomato half into each side of the cup to resemble the bolts on Frankenstein’s neck.
- Use small strips of cheddar cheese for the mouth and tiny olive pieces for the eyes. Get creative with extra toppings to personalize each face!
- Arrange the finished cups on a platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
To prevent the guacamole from browning, cover it tightly with plastic wrap pressed against the surface. Assemble the cups just before serving to keep them crisp. Don’t stress about perfection when decorating the faces—quirky imperfections add charm!
