Ingredients:
- 8 ripe, fresh avocados, halved, pitted and peeled
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, minced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 5 black olives, pitted
- 8 baby carrots
- 1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped (reserve 10 additional leaves for garnish)
- 1 (13 oz.) bag of tortilla chips
- 4 cups sharp Cheddar or jalapeño jack cheese, shredded
- 2 bell peppers (different colors) seeded and cut into small squares to resemble flags
- 4 radishes, thinly sliced
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
Instructions:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl combine 7 avocados, lime juice, onion, jalapeño pepper, and garlic. Mash to desired consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the guacamole into a 6-cup rectangular dish (or aluminum foil carry-out container) and smooth out the top with the back of a spoon.
- Place the dish of guacamole in the center of a large platter or tray. Scoop the sour cream into a small plastic bag. Snip a tiny piece from the corner and pipe lines on the guacamole to resemble a football field. Pipe lines on one olive to resemble a football and place in center of the field.
- Pare down one end of each of 4 baby carrots and fit one end of each carrot into one of the remaining black olives to make football players with helmets
- press "players" into the field. Slice remaining 4 carrots crosswise and reserve for garnish.
- Sprinkle the edges of the guacamole with chopped cilantro.
- Place half of the tortilla chips on two large foil-lined, baking sheets. Top with half of the cheese and bell peppers. Top with remaining chips, cheese and peppers. Bake 3 to 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.
- Working quickly, place the tortilla chips around the guacamole, mounding them up on the outside edges to appear as stadium seating.
- Sprinkle chips with radishes, remaining cilantro leaves, baby carrots and chopped scallion. Cube remaining avocado and add to nachos as garnish.
Notes & Tips:
To make a stadium effect, try using different colored tortilla chips.
