Yesterday was Halloween, and I hope everyone had a fantastic time! I was excited to make these Guacamoldy with Creature Chips for my company Halloween party, and for Martha Mondays!
Unfortunately, I didn't think the guacamole recipe was too good. Granted, I didn't use exact measurements. Maybe that's where I went wrong? But it tasted a little too lime-y and was not seasoned well. I guess I am used to Chipotle's guacamole. I did like the idea of using cookie cutters to make shapes for the tortilla chips. I used cat and bat cookie cutters. Next time I would probably use a different kind of tortillas, as mine were too thick. I used a chipotle as well as a yellow corn tortilla, so next time I will stick to flour tortillas. They seem to be thinner. Also, I cooked the tortillas for longer than 12 minutes, and they still were not crispy enough, not enough like a tortilla chip. So overall I was disappointed with the taste-factor of the recipe. But the idea is super cute! And I will definitely make it again with some adjustments. Here is Martha's original recipe below.

I knew from looking at the recipe that it wasn't going to be anything my family would touch, so I doctored mine up a lot. It was a great idea for a Halloween dish though and definitely fun.
Yes I agree! I'm sure I can find better guacamole recipes and use different tortillas and it would be great! Very creative idea though :O
I enjoyed this recipe, but I don't eat much guacamole, and I really liked the lime in it - how funny! Thanks for a great pick.
I usually love lime flavors but I just think I put too much in. Oops! Thanks for playing along :)
I'm so glad you've joined us and thanks for a great pick! I definitely baked my shapes longer because some of them were still soft after 12 minutes. I think it depends on how big the shape is.
Hey sassy! I would definitely cook them longer and yes the size probably matters plus I had some thick tortillas! Thanks for the welcome :) Glad to be a part of it!
