These gluten-free chip and guacamole bites are so fun to bring to parties and potlucks. Much more fun than showing up with just chips and guacamole! This is an easy gluten-free appetizer! I’ve been making this tasty and easy little gluten-free appetizer for years and have been meaning to share it here. I made it to be a gluten-free football party appetizer or a gluten-free Cinco de Mayo appetizer. But after I posted it, people started pointing out that the red and green make it perfect as a gluten-free Christmas appetizer to bring to their holiday parties. I’ve also had people in the comments and by email let me know they were making these to serve at rehearsal dinners and other dinner parties throughout the year. Since my simple homemade guacamole is made with lime juice in it, these don’t brown easily while sitting out at the party either. They’ve stayed looking good for several hours during a party. At one party we attended, I did add shredded cheese to them. If you aren’t needing to work around any dairy allergies or intolerances, and would prefer cheese, go right ahead and add it! You could do anything from a pepper jack to a sharp cheddar to vary the flavor. I used a sharp cheddar one time and loved it. This is what they looked like with that (sorry it’s not the best pic – it was taken hastily as I headed out the door to a party!): I love how the bit of cilantro sprinkled on top finishes these off and adds that extra kick of flavor. My husband doesn’t care for cilantro, and if you’re one of those people that hates cilantro, feel free to leave it off. It was such a small amount here that he didn’t mind! Let’s take a look at what you need for this recipe: That’s it! Only 4 ingredients; 5 if you add cheese! Yes, Tostitos Scoops are gluten-free. They’re labeled gluten-free and included on Frito Lay’s gluten-free list. They claim that they test to make sure the products on the list meet the 20 ppm FDA threshold. Great news! You can make as many or few of these as you’d like! One batch makes about 42 bites, feel free to double or triple for even more! You should get about 42 bites per batch. This photo is missing some because my husband and I had to test them for “quality control” I recommend making these on a large rimmed cookie sheet because this is also the best way to transport them. Even if you just have to move them from one spot in your kitchen to another, you’ll be glad you have the rimmed pan so they don’t all slide off onto the kitchen floor! After you finish, then you can put the finished bites on your serving tray when ready to serve. The combo of red tomatoes and green guacamole and cilantro makes these popular for Christmas parties too! You can even arrange them on a round plate to further that Christmas theme by emulating a wreath – making for such a cute and different gluten-free Christmas appetizer. I’ll work at making some more gluten-free appetizers to share with you soon too! Scroll down past the recipe to see a few more of my favorite gluten-free appetizers.

More fun than just a bowl of chips and guac, these chip and guacamole bites are yummy and are an appetizer that the gluten-free folks can enjoy too! You can make as many or few of these as you'd like for the size of group you are feeding! Be sure your guacamole has a good amount of lemon or lime juice so that it doesn't turn an unappealing brown color. While you can use store bought guacamole, I find that is wetter and has more potential for making these soggy. I recommend making homemade guacamole instead. I make this classic guacamole recipe. While you only need one bag of scoops per one batch of guacamole, I highly recommend you buy 2 bags in case your bag ends up having mostly broken scoops! I've had that happen! One batch makes about 42 bites. If you want to double this, make another batch of guacamole, buy more bags of chips, but you shouldn't need to buy more tomatoes or cilantro.
