THE BEST GUACAMOLE RECIPES

Best Guacamole Recipe

Guacamole. A pillar of Mexican food, the glue that holds together the perfect meal. A staple in our lives and most likely, yours as well. We’re about to get very controversial as we discuss the elements of the perfect guacamole as well as some of the best guacamole recipe you may like. 

First, let us take you back in time. Guacamole was first eaten by the Aztecs in the 16th-centuryand was made purely of avocado. Originally called Āhuacamolli, meaning “avocado sauce”, the word developed into what we now know as guacamole. The traditional dish began to develop with the additions of smashed tomato and avocado, giving it complexity and additional flavor. 

The guacamole that we know today has much more complexity, dynamics, and more ingredients. Although some people like it plain and simple with the main ingredients, at Tacos & Beer, we like to add some additional flair, we’ll let the people decide. 

Here are some guacamole recipes that we’re currently loving:
