This easy guacamole dip is a quick avocado recipe that even kids will love! Serve with baked tortilla chips sprinkled with Himalayan salt and cracked pepper.

Tonight for this Mitten Movie Night, instead of a food and beer pairing I’m doing a super easy snack that kids and parents will both enjoy while watching their favorite family show or movie.

Since this recipe is mainly for the kids, I kept this appetizer simple to four basic ingredients and made it without cilantro. While traditional guacamole recipes include cilantro and other ingredients like tomatoes and onions, I added them to separate bowls so the adults can add these ingredients to their own bowls.

Then, to pay homage to tonight’s television selection, we oven-baked flour tortilla ‘dog bones’ for chips with a simple salt and pepper seasoning. These chips came out crispy and held up to all the dunking.

Kids TV shows that the whole family will love

Today is the season finale of one of our favorite family shows to watch, Turner & Hooch on Disney+. This show has something for everyone: laughter, romance, special family bonds, and a whodunit all centered around the big and messy main character, Hooch.

I really think that Disney did a wonderful job of updating this classic, that I remember watching as a kid, into a modern-day series.

Ingredients

For this simple avocado dip recipe-

  • Two ripe avocados
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic depending on how much your family likes it, mine LOVE it
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Flour tortillas
  • Spray olive oil, and seasonings like cracked pepper and pink Himalayan salt

How to make this easy guacamole dip

Notes

Tips for making this recipe:

  • This dish can be made in a food processor to make it easier to mash the avocado and mix the ingredients.
  • To store: Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap pushing it down directly on top of the guacamole to keep air out, should help with keeping it from browning too quickly.
