04 - Spread salsa evenly along the edges outside the guacamole field, then sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the salsa border.
05 - Using a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the tip cut, pipe yard lines and end zones on the guacamole field with reserved sour cream. Arrange sliced black olives as players or fans along the edges, sprinkle chopped tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro over the cheese border, then add shredded lettuce along the ends to simulate turf.
