A jazzed-up guacamole takes center stage on this low-fuss snack board. A jumble of miniature bell peppers and tortilla chips serve as the sturdy scoopers, with slices of Colby Jack cheese as their creamy counterpart. Roasted red peppers provide tangy sweetness.

1 batch Zesty Avocado Black Bean Dip (see associated recipe) or 2 cups guacamole (see Tip)
1 lime, quartered, for garnish
2 cups miniature bell peppers, seeded and halved lengthwise
4 cups baked tortilla chips
6 ounces Colby Jack cheese, sliced
6 ounces jarred roasted red peppers, sliced
1 mango, cubed
1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes
¼ cup fresh cilantro sprigs

Directions

Place dip (or guacamole) in a medium serving bowl. Garnish with lime wedges, if desired. Place the bowl near the center of the board.
Scatter bell pepper halves and tortilla chips on opposite ends of the board, covering all four corners.
Arrange cheese slices in three separate sections of the board, next to the pepper halves and chips. Place roasted red pepper slices in a small bowl or ramekin on one of the open edges of the board.
Arrange mango cubes on each side of the bowl of dip (or guacamole). Scatter tomatoes over the board, filling in any open spaces. Garnish the board with cilantro sprigs.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
