When I made this Fully Loaded Guacamole for the first time, my daughter said something along the lines of “I thought your other guacamole was the best, but this is even better!” I might have blushed. Don’t get me wrong, my Easy Guacamole that she was referring to is really good and it is super quick to whip up. But if you have a few extra minutes and you want to make an impression- go with the Fully Loaded Guacamole. It takes the classic creamy avocado and loads it up with extras like smokey chipotle peppers, diced tomatoes and chopped onion. Fantastic on a breakfast taco, just check out the pic below!
It Begins with “A”
Guacamole begins with avocados of course! You can use a fork to mash them, or throw them in a food processor with the cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Make them as smooth or lumpy as you’d like. If mashing them with a fork is the way you go, I would add in the salt, pepper, garlic powder and lime juice as you mash, but hold off on the cilantro until you have chopped that by hand.
Then the Extras
Once you have the mashed or processed avocado base, add in the extras. Chopped purple onion, chopped cilantro, diced tomato, finely chopped chipotles in adobo for some heat. You can add as much heat as you’d like by adjusting the amount of chipotle peppers. Some other extras you could add in would be crumbled bacon, fresh garlic, corn kernels or black olives. Or get a little funky by adding chopped mango.
Dip, Side or Sauce
This Fully Loaded Guacamole is crazy good as a dip with my Tostones or Baked Plantain Chips. As a side to Chicken Enchiladas, Cumin and Lime Marinated Flank Steak or Smothered BBQ Chicken. Or a sauce for Veggie Tacos with Coconut Lime Slaw, Black Beans and Rice or a Plantain Wraps.
