a tiny appetizer.

Often times, less is more. 

When you have a get together where ten girls bring ten appetizers, this is one of those times. 

You want to taste everything (unless someone makes sour cream and onion dip and it's your weakness, and then you prefer to just hover over the bowl) without feeling awfully full. After searching for the perfect appetizer for such an occasion, I came across the below idea. It was a winner. 

(packaged in perfect serving size shot glasses)

Here's what you'll need...

You'll also need:

1/2 cup of each ingredient

12 shot glasses

2 bags of tortilla chips

cellophane bags with ties/ribbon

Here's what to do...

You can make your own ingredients (salsa, guacamole, queso dip) or you can buy the already made version from your grocery store. The only thing I made was the guacamole because I love homemade over store bought any day. 

For that you'll need: 2 avocados, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, salt and pepper to taste.

Layer each ingredient in the order seen above, starting with the refried beans. You can use a pipping bag (or a baggie with a hole) for precision. 

You can make up to 3 hours before serving and refrigerate. 

Serve with individual bags of tortilla chips - or one big bowl! 

this is the perfect appetizer for any super bowl party you may be attending in the near future. the men may not understand (usually for them, more is always more) but the women in attendance will surely be impressed!
