A summertime twist on a classic guacamole. This chunky, hearty, recipe has all of the usual ingredients in it, but the added surprise of sweet, fresh mango. This Mango Guacamole is great served alongside a fish taco, a quesadilla, our Maple Roasted Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas, or with a big bowl of crunchy tortilla chips.
Easy to make, full of flavor, and pretty much healthy, you will love this fruity, sweetened up version of our classic guacamole. If you're not feeling the mango, check out my more traditional recipe for Easy Homemade Guacamole.
Making the Mango Guacamole:
This recipe comes together quickly. I like to prep and combine all of the extras before I add the ripe avocado and lime juice. You'll start by chopping and dicing your mango, tomato, red onion and jalapeño. You'll crush the garlic and chop the cilantro. Finally, you'll mix this all together in a medium mixing bowl. I like to add the Papa Joe's Salt or salt and pepper, directly to this combination.
Next, you'll cut and score your avocados, and scoop the avocado directly into the mixing bowl. I like to mash the avocado a little bit right inside of the peel before scooping it into the bowl. You'll squeeze your lime juice all over everything and mash it all together. Done!
I like to leave the guacamole covered in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes if I have time. The flavors combine, and the guacamole just tastes better when it has some time for the flavors to mix together.
