Crazy Guacamole

Move over regular guacamole. There’s a new guacamole in town and it is CrAzY!

I heart guacamole. I heart it so much. I can’t even stand it. It’s one of the few foods I think I could eat over and over and not get sick of it. And believe me, that’s saying a lot for me because I tend to get sick of things really quickly. We also love Mexican food in general in this house, so I am mixing up bowls of guacamole pretty frequently.

But this time, I decided to change things up. This is no ordinary bowl of guacamole! This guacamole is chunkier and has more of a kick to it. I think I need to go make another bowl. Like right now…

Crazy Guacamole

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Yield: About 6 servings

Serving Size: about 1/4 cup

Calories per serving: 124

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe California avocados
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 3 tsp. jalapeño pepper, minced (remove seeds), add more for more heat
  • 2/3 cup cooked corn
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 1/2 tbs. of freshly chopped cilantro
  • 1 1/2 to 2 limes, juiced
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp. salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Slice each avocado in half. Remove the pit. With a knife, score each half of the avocados about 3-4 times lengthwise and then again 3-4 times widthwise. Take a spoon and scoop out the avocado into a bowl, it should come out in cubes.
  2. Fold in the remaining ingredients into the avocados. If you want a chunkier guacamole, fold in gently to avoid overly mashing the avocados. Stick the guac in the fridge for about 30 minutes and serve!

    Your recipe sounds almost exactly like the one I make except for the corn. Interesting addition and probably delicious.

    Oh, I quite love the overabundance of corn in this guacamole! The yellows, greens, and reds just pop with vibrancy – very appetizing, indeed!

    Me too, I love guacamole and no one can stop me once I’m spotted with guacamole. =) I love the corn in here. I’ve never made it and I MUST try this very soon. Luckily my kids are big fan of guacamole and we can easily finish just three of us before my husband even comes home! Tee hee.

    I am right there with you on the guacamole. I eat avocados for dinner when I am lazy. It is always so much better when I put some effort into making guacamole. My husband and I always argue over the last scoop and then I still use my finger to get every last bit.

      Thanks, Emily! I eat them for lunch too, with a little salt! Luckily, my husband just dips chips in it and doesn’t really like to scoop it out with the chip. Totally fine by me!
