 Directions

~~ for the guacamole ~~

In a medium mixing bowl, mash the avocado, citrus juices, and salt with a fork (or molcajete) until it reaches your preferred consistency.

Stir in the cilantro, red onion, and jalapeno.

~~ for the creamy cotija spread ~~

Place the sour cream, mascarpone, cotija cheese, and lime juice in a medium mixing bowl and mash the mascarpone and cheese into the sour cream until mostly smooth (you can also use an immersion blender). Stir in the cilantro, and taste. Add a pinch of salt, if necessary.

~~ for the confetti salsa ~~

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and let rest for several minutes.

assemble

Layer the guacamole in the bottom of a glass serving bowl and smooth out. For an attractive presentation against the glass, press the guacamole against it so there are no air pockets. Spread the creamy cotija on top of the guacamole (ditto with pressing it against the glass).

Drain the confetti salsa, and spoon it on top of the creamy cotija to cover. Serve with tortilla chips.
