Guacamole is the go-to side for a handful of different meals, from tacos to tailgating parties, there is always a reason to whip up some guac. While the recipe might be basic for most, we’re here to offer a few ways to take your dip to the next level. Check out our base recipe, and then explore a few exciting additions and alternatives.
1 /5 Gabriel’s Guacamole
This is the base guacamole recipe from Gabriel’s in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It is intended only as a jumping-off point: Add more seasonings to your taste. We preferred it with 1/2 teaspoon jalapeño, 4 teaspoons onion, and 4 teaspoons lime juice.
2 /5 Roasted Tomatillo Guacamole
Add more intense flavor to homemade guacamole with the addition of pan-roasted jalapeño peppers and roasted tomatillos. You can also do the roasting step on a grill.
3 /5 Indian Guacamole
Toasted mustard seeds, cumin, turmeric, and coriander infuse a Mexican classic with the flavors of India–as does serving it with crispy pappadums instead of tortilla chips.
4 /5 Sake Soy Guacamole
This guac is loosely based on a recipe from Hawaiian chef Alan Wong. Serve it with daikon sticks, radishes, or taro chips.
5 /5 Grilled Romaine with Guacamole Dressing
This dressing goes great on anything that’s been grilled, or can be used to dress a hearty green goddess salad.
