Ingredients for Tropical Guacamole Fiesta

Avocados provide the creamy base for our guacamole, balancing the sweetness of the mango and pineapple. Make sure they're ripe for the best texture. Mango adds a rich, tropical sweetness that complements the creaminess of the avocado. Pineapple brings a tart contrast and juicy burst, enhancing the tropical vibe. Red onion introduces a sharp bite to cut through the sweetness and provide a bit of crunch. Cilantro adds a fresh, herbaceous note that ties all the flavors together. Lime juice is essential for brightness and preventing the avocado from browning. Salt and black pepper are crucial for seasoning and bringing out the flavors. Finally, jalapeño gives an optional spicy kick, letting you adjust the heat to your liking.

Tips & Tricks

To check if an avocado is ripe, gently press on its skin. It should yield slightly without feeling mushy.
If you want to make this ahead of time, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning.
For a milder guacamole, omit the jalapeño or remove all the seeds and membranes before mincing.

Serving Suggestions

This tropical guacamole pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled chicken or fish. It’s also delicious as a spread on sandwiches or wraps, bringing a burst of tropical flavor to any meal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen mango or pineapple?: Yes, just make sure to thaw and drain them well before using to avoid excess moisture in the guacamole.
How can I make this guacamole spicier?: Add more minced jalapeño or include a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick.
How long will this guacamole last?: It's best eaten fresh, but it can be stored in the fridge for up to a day. Remember to cover it tightly to minimize browning.

Tropical Guacamole Fiesta Recipe Walkthrough

Start by cutting the avocados in half. Twist them gently to separate the halves and carefully remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl using a spoon. Grab a fork and mash the avocado to your desired consistency — some like it chunky, others smooth, so it's up to you!

Next, add the diced mango, pineapple, red onion, and cilantro to the bowl. Make sure your mango and pineapple are diced into small, even pieces so they mix well with the avocado.

Squeeze in the juice from a lime over the mixture. This not only enhances the flavor but also keeps the guacamole looking fresh. Sprinkle in salt and black pepper to taste.

Mix everything together until well combined. If you're up for some heat, add the minced jalapeño. Start with a little and add more if you want extra kick. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Your Tropical Guacamole Fiesta is ready to serve immediately, or you can cover it and refrigerate for up to an hour before serving.
