If you aren’t aware, California used to be Mexican territory. So as a Southern California native, I know my guacamole. In my opinion, the ability to make good guacamole should actually be a prerequisite of living in California. And you might agree. But, mango guacamole?!, you ask.
Oh, yes. 1000%.
If you think you like guacamole, just wait until you try this recipe. (Because there’s actually nothing better on this planet.)
Once you make this mango guacamole recipe, you’ll never go back to boring regular guacamole ever again. This I know for sure.
Whenever I introduce people — and specifically my Australian and Kiwi friends here in Byron Bay — to mango guacamole, they’re initially perplexed. They’re like: Woah, um, that’s weird?
But then they try it. And they’re like: Wow, this is actually amazing – such a good combo.
And I’m like: Yep, I know.
So to be brief, this recipe is a real crowd-pleaser and I know you, your friends, and fam will all love it.
