Christmas Tree Snacks with Taquito Trunks and Nacho Bite Branches

December 22, 2015 This post may contain affiliate links.

Have some fun this Christmas by turning José Olé Taquitos and Nacho Bites into festive Christmas Tree Snacks topped with a squiggle of guacamole, tiny tomato ornaments, and a yellow pepper star. This post is sponsored by José Olé.

This Christmas have some fun in the kitchen decorating José Olé Taquitos and Nacho Bites to look like festive Christmas Tree Snacks. See how at HungryHappenings.com.

Can you even believe Christmas is in just a few days?

Do you feel as rushed as I do to get appetizers and snacks together for your holiday celebrations?

We are attending a Christmas eve party at my parent’s house and all the guests are supposed to bring a tasty snack to share. I’m making all the desserts too, so I needed to find something to bring that would not require hours of prep work, but still be filling and fun.

This Christmas have some fun in the kitchen decorating José Olé Taquitos and Nacho Bites to look like festive Christmas Tree Snacks. See how at HungryHappenings.com.

So, I crafted some festive Christmas Tree Snacks using spicy José Olé Chicken and Cheese Nacho Bites and crispy Chicken and Cheese Taquitos.

They turned out great and were so easy to make.

My husband and I couldn’t help but snack on all the trees I made yesterday. They were so filling that we skipped lunch.

I know they are going to be a hit with the party guests.

How to make Christmas Tree Snacks using guacamole, peppers, and tomatoes.

You can make homemade guacamole by mixing together two avocados, the juice from half a lime, 1/4 cup salsa, and some salt and pepper, to taste, or just buy some guacamole at the store.

Either way, you’ll want to puree it and pour it into a squeeze bottle or pastry bag, if you want to pipe it over the Nacho Bites. You can just spread it over top, if you prefer to leave it chunky.

To make the decorations, cut stars from yellow peppers using a small cookie cutter or knife and cut tiny pieces of tomato for the ornaments. I actually used a small round plunger cutter to cut tiny round tomato ornaments.

How to make Christmas Tree Snacks by decorating Taquitos and Nacho Bites with guacamole, peppers, and tomatoes.

As soon as your Nacho Bites and Taquitos come out of the oven, add the decorations.

Cut each Taquito into 3 equal pieces. Set one Nacho Bite on a small plate. This will be the top of the tree.

Add a piece of Taquito for the trunk.

Pipe squiggles of guacamole over top of the Nacho Bite. Add a yellow pepper star and some tomato ornaments.

Have the kids help and you’ll have a bunch of these put together in no time. You could even have your guests decorate their own trees. That would make this food craft even easier.

I really appreciate any help I can get in the kitchen at the holidays and love that I can make a really simple treat to share using Jose Ole products.

    These look so cute and yummy! I have turned into a guacamole fan thanks to my hubby and I love how you used yours as part of the decorations!
    I wouldn’t worry about making too many of them though! If your guests are like me, once they get a look at your sweet treats they will make a mad dash and dive right in!

      Yeah, some of our guests do head straight for the desserts! I can’t blame them. 🙂

      I was never a big guacamole fan, but my friend brought some to game night recently and used the simple recipe I shared, and I really liked it, a lot. I ate a lot of chips that night. The Nacho Bites are spicy and the guacamole is a nice flavor compliment.
