My all-time favorite football team is the Dallas Cowboys. I’m from Texas and when I was a little girl my dream was to be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. You might remember me sharing that hysterical story here.
My husband’s favorite team is the Pittsburgh Steelers and our children’s team is the Denver Broncos.
This football season was very exciting in our home, but as you know all teams were knocked out of the playoffs (sigh). Now its all about New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. Being that I’m not a fan of either, I’ve decided to cheer on cutie patootie, Tom Brady (ahem) I mean the Patriots.
But seriously, the Super Bowl for me is just a great excuse to eat some naughty appetizers. And one of my favorites is guacamole! The good news is that guacamole is actually good for you. The naughty part is the tortilla chips. So, I’ve decided to be a good girl this year and serve guacamole game day tostadas. Now I just need to practice self-control.
In this video I teach you how to make traditional and authentic guacamole in a molcajete and serve it on tortilla chips for a party or game-watching get-together.
Whether you’re in it for the commercials, the actual game, or just the party, the big game is just around the corner. It’s time to start planning what you’ll make and take or, if you’re hosting, what your spread will consist of.
I have all the party inspiration you need with some of my favorites on the Muy Bueno Super Bowl Pinterest page.
Guacamole en Molcajete
Ingredients
- 4 ripe avocados

Instructions
- In a molcajete, use the tejolote (lava-stone pestle) to grind the garlic, onion, jalapeño, and salt until all the ingredients are well ground.
- Dice the avocados and gently fold into the garlic-onion- chile paste, keeping the avocados fairly intact.
- Add tomatoes and squeeze the lime juice over the avocado and gently stir until the mixture is chunky.
- Taste and add salt, if necessary. Serve immediately, directly from the molcajete, with tortilla chips.
Notes
- Make ahead tip: Avocado oxidizes (turns brown) when exposed to oxygen for too long. Prep any of the ingredients as early as you like, but leave the avocado mashing until the last minute.

Nothing like homemade is right. What is a party without guacamole, we need this traditional latin dip on our table.
We really enjoy your recipes I was born and raise in Weslaco Texas and we move to Wa. State when I was 12 and I remember my mother’s home cooking I never paid attention what spices she use for the different meals she made but thanks to your web sight I been cooking some of the meals she use to make and some of the meals that we get in the Mexican restaurants. But nothing better then homemade.
We LOVE all things avocado but especially guacamole. Our game day eats are always Hispanic types of food.
