Instructions
Pit and peel the avocados and place them in a large bowl. Coarsely mash them with a fork or potato masher.
Add the drained cans of RO*TEL, lime juice, red onion, garlic, cumin, and chopped cilantro to the avocados and mix well.
Taste and add salt, as needed.
Place a small bowl in the middle of a larger shallow bowl to form a mold for the guacamole Christmas wreath.
Spoon the guacamole into the larger bowl around the small bowl to form the wreath shape.
Carefully remove the small bowl from the middle so you have a ring or wreath of guacamole.
Garnish the guacamole wreath with cherry tomatoes and cilantro leaves. Serve with tortilla chips or vegetables and enjoy!
Notes
Nutrition facts do not include the garnishes or tortilla chips.
To store leftover guacamole in the refrigerator, follow these steps:
In a bowl with a tight-fitting lid, pat down the guacamole with a spoon to remove any air bubbles.
Drizzle about ½ an inch of lukewarm water on top of the guacamole.
Put the lid on and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
When ready to eat, pour off the water from the top of the guacamole.
Stir well and enjoy.
