Firecracker Guacamole Bites shaped like an American flag

Mini phyllo shells filled with @GoodFoods Chunky Guacamole (our go-to for fresh, creamy flavor), topped with shrimp, feta, and blue corn chips for a festive flag-inspired appetizer. 🎇

Why we love it? It’s made with real, simple ingredients and tastes just like homemade—no prep, no fuss, just scoop and serve 🥑🙌

Ingredients

1 container Good Foods Chunky Guacamole
30 mini phyllo shells
Cooked shrimp
Chopped Cherry tomatoes, finely diced
Crumbled feta cheese
Blue corn tortilla chips

Directions

Fill each mini phyllo shell with a spoonful of Good Foods Chunky Guacamole.
Assemble the flag: For the red stripes, top a row of guac cups with a mix of chopped shrimp and diced cherry tomatoes.
For the white stripes, top a row with crumbled feta cheese (no shrimp or tomatoes).
Alternate the red and white topped rows to create the flag stripes.
Create the blue star section by placing blue corn chips upright into the top-left corner cups.
Chill until ready to serve and enjoy the firecracker guacamole cups!

Perfect Presentation Platters

These Firecracker Guacamole Cups look beautiful on a wooden serving board. My Amazon Storefront is full of great deals, and we also love these finds:

Wooden Serving Board: I used this large wooden platter from Target is so cute, especially the double handles. For a smaller option, this wooden cutting board from Amazon is only $11! If you’re looking to add to a collection, Antique Hardware has this set of 3 that I get so much use out of. I also use this rectangular tray from Walmart all the time. (Both at a great price!)

Kitchen Links: I have steadily grown a collection of MacKenzie-Childs products over the years. These are definitely investment pieces, but are such beautiful quality and make great gifts, including:

Black-Checkered Teapot
Blue Checkered Serving Bowl
Patriotic Serving Dish
Star-Shaped Tray
Enamel Canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.

Can I Prep These in Advance?

Yes! You can prep these about 3 hours prior to serving and store in the fridge. We wouldn’t recommend prepping the day before to ensure that the phyllo cups don’t get soggy.
