Arrange tomato slices around edge to make a border.
- Drain salsa in a strainer to get rid of excess juice. Spread over beef mixture, leaving some showing around the edge. Sprinkle cheese over salsa.
- Halve the avocados; remove seeds and spoon flesh into a medium bowl. Add 3 tablespoons lime juice, onion, jalapeno and salt, and mash until fairly smooth. Spoon over cheese layer and spread into an even layer.
- Place sour cream in a ziptop bag; seal bag and snip a small tip off one corner. Pipe a spider web design over guacamole and onto the plate. Decorate with toy spider. Serve with tortilla chips.
