Tasty Mango Guacamole

A traditional guacamole meets a whole lotta flava!

Tasty Mango Guacamole

“I HATE GUACAMOLE” said no one after trying this recipe! 🙂 Well, I must say that I used to have a very strong dislike for the authentic, chunky green dip. Every time I would sample it, I found it to be just bland and lacking flavor. BORING!! Even the hubby would say that it tastes like something out of a baby food jar so needless to say, he never liked it either.  When I stumbled across this recipe by Alton Brown, I noticed that it had a couple ingredients that I always use in my Tex-Mex dishes…cumin and cayenne pepper! Yep, these additions make this dip everything to me! I love it and now I just can’t get enough. I also wanted to create a sweet balance to compliment the spiciness of the cayenne so I added mango. OMG! This is where it’s at!  Some may say that it’s not authentic because of all these additions so I call it the Tex-Mex version or simply, Tasty Mango Guacamole! If you’re not a fan of guacamole, you will quickly become one after trying this recipe, repeating I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT in between each and every scoop! It’s just that good!

Tasty Mango Guacamole

Take 3 Haas avocados (make sure they are tender to the pressure of your thumb…this means they’re ready 🙂 ) , cut them in half and remove the pit. Peel the skin and toss the avocado flesh into a bowl. Squeeze the juice from 1 lime  all over the avocadoes and toss to coat. Pour off the excess juice and reserve it for later.  Add 1/2 tsp. of kosher salt, 1/2 tsp. of cumin, 1/2 tsp. of  cayenne pepper and mash everything with a fork to your desired consistency. Do you smell that? OMG! That’s pure goodness in the making! Dice up half of a medium sweet onion, seed, dice and mince half of a jalapeno, dice and seed 2 roma tomatoes, peel and cut up 1/2 of a mango, mince 1 large clove of garlic, and chop up 1 T. of fresh cilantro. The cilantro is totally optional in my book as hubby can’t stand it. Thinks it’s waxy. Your choice! Fold everything together and add the reserved lime juice back in. Cover with plastic wrap and be sure to let everything sit out at room temperature for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld. Two hours is optimal. Tip: Never serve guacamole cold. It’s just not as delicious in my opinion! Now repeat after me, I LOVE THIS GUACAMOLE! 🙂 After all, it’s always better to walk in love. Ephesians 5:1-2. Say Grace and enjoy!

    I love that you added cumin. I never thought to put cumin in guacamole, but it’s probably my all-time favorite spice. I’m going to try this for the Super Bowl!
