What’s
green and red and has deliciousness smothered all over it? Dad’s famous
Christmas guacamole. It is so divine that we call it HOLY!
Although
guacamole might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of
holiday foods, it’s one of Beckie’s family’s favorite Christmas food
traditions.
Holy
Guacamole + homemade tortilla chips make the perfect finger food combo for
Christmas and New Years Eve parties.
Try out
this red and green appetizer this season, and you’ll be tempted to make it all
year round!
