It's not just the most important sporting event in the United States, but also the moment when we can share the excitement of the next touchdown with around 100 million people around the world. That's why we present to you this delicious selection of 10 Latin snacks that cannot be missing from your playoff and Super Bowl LV afternoons, to add a lot of flavor to the center of your table. Super bowl of guacamoleThis Mexican snack is the star of the Super Bowl every year. In the United States alone, about 100,000 tons of avocado are sold in the first weeks of the year, corresponding to the NFL finals. In 2020, the record was broken and Mexican producers sent 120,000 tons of avocado to the United States. To prepare your super bowl of guacamole for two people, you will only need: 2 avocados, 1/2 chopped onion, 2 limes, fresh cilantro to taste, 1 chopped tomato, 1 chopped green chili, salt, and tortilla chips. Mix and mash the avocado with the lime juice, onion, and tomato. Add cilantro and chopped chili. Season with salt to taste and serve with your tortilla chips. So easy! If you want to give your snack a twist, prepare this buffalo chicken dip with guacamole or this guacamole with esquites. Meat empanadas: touchdown of flavor Along with barbecue, beef empanadas are typical of Argentina.
