Updated September 10, 2024 It’s Friday and we are celebrating with Mango Guacamole. I love my classic guacamole recipe, it is the BEST, but sometimes it’s fun to mix it up! This recipe is from Gaby’s cookbook, Absolutely Avocados. I am obsessed with cookies and Gaby is obsessed with avocados. I wrote a book all about cookies and Gaby wrote a book all about avocados. I am pretty obsessed with avocados too, but Gaby is the avocado queen:) Absolutely Avocados is filled with 80 avocado recipes. I am absolutely loving it! I am thrilled to say my friend wrote this book because it is genius! Everyone needs this book and everyone needs to try this Mango & Cilantro Guacamole because holy guacamole is it good!
I have already bookmarked about every recipe in Absolutely Avocados. I want to make them all! Since I can’t make decisions and didn’t know which recipe to start with, I asked the one and only Gaby for suggestions. She agreed it was a tough choice, but helped me narrow it down to Mango & Cilantro Guacamole. You can never go wrong with guacamole!
I am a little jealous Gaby lives in California and can find awesome avocados all of the time. Luckily, it is avocado season and I have been finding some great California avocados at the stores in Utah. Good guacamole starts with ripe avocados! Mmm! Look at that beauty! And guess what I am hanging out with Gaby this weekend! Yahoo! We are in California for the Big Traveling Potluck. I might have to fill my suitcase with avocados:) Caleb calls avocados AVA! I have to fight with him to look at Gaby’s book because he loves carrying it around to look at the gorgeous pictures by Matt Armendariz. He yells BITE and tries to eat the avocados in the book:)
Mango & Cilantro Guacamole only takes 10 minutes to make and probably 2 minutes to eat. I couldn’t even finish taking the pictures before getting my dip on. I HAD to have a taste! I love the chunks of juicy mango! This simple guacamole is perfect for spring, summer, and Cinco de Mayo. It goes well with fish, grilled chicken, enchiladas, tostadas, or any Mexican meal. And you can’t go wrong with just opening a bag of chips and devouring the whole bowl. That is what I did:) Perfection!
