Ingredients for Fully Loaded Guacamole
- 16 ounces prepared guacamole (store-bought or homemade)
- ¼ cup black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1 Roma tomato, diced (seeds removed for less moisture)
- ⅛ cup red onion, diced (soak in cold water for 10 minutes to reduce sharpness)
- ½ cup cilantro, chopped (stems included for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced (or ½ teaspoon garlic powder as a substitute)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice (adjust to taste)
- ¼ cup canned corn, drained (optional, for added sweetness and crunch)
- 1 jalapeño pepper, diced (optional, remove seeds for less heat)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the black beans: Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Combine fresh ingredients: Add the diced Roma tomato, red onion, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and fresh lime juice to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Add optional ingredients: If using, gently fold in the canned corn and diced jalapeño pepper for extra flavor and texture.
- Incorporate the guacamole: Add the prepared guacamole to the mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold it in, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed without overmixing.
- Chill for flavor infusion: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 2 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together for a more vibrant taste.
- Serve and enjoy: Give the guacamole a quick stir before serving. Pair with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite dishes!
Perfect Pairings: Serving Suggestions
This Fully Loaded Guacamole is a versatile star! Serve it with tortilla chips for a classic snack, or use it as a topping for tacos, nachos, or burrito bowls. It also pairs beautifully with grilled chicken or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. For a fun twist, try it with sweet potato fries or as a dip for veggie sticks.
Make It Your Own: Recipe Variations
Customize this guacamole to suit your taste! Swap black beans for pinto beans, or add diced mango for a sweet and tangy kick. If you prefer a creamier texture, mix in 1-2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt. For a smoky flavor, try adding roasted red peppers or a pinch of smoked paprika.
Keep It Fresh: Storage Tips
Store your guacamole in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent browning. It will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 2 days. If you need to make it ahead, prepare the mix-ins and fold in the guacamole just before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Quick Fixes: Time-Saving Tips
Short on time? Use pre-diced tomatoes and onions from the store to cut down on prep. If you’re in a rush, skip the refrigeration step and serve immediately—it’ll still taste great! For an even faster option, use store-bought guacamole and simply mix in your favorite add-ins.
Spice It Up: Heat Level Adjustments
Love heat? Add an extra jalapeño or include some of the seeds for a spicier kick. If you prefer milder flavors, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño or swap it for diced bell pepper. You can also add a dash of hot sauce for a customizable heat level.
