Mango Guacamole
Switch up your guacamole with this sweet and savory mango guacamole. The bits of sweet fruit balance beautifully with the creamy salty mashed avocado. It’s delicious with tortilla chips or as a topping over shrimp tacos.
Use fresh ripe mango for best flavor. I like to add heaps of cilantro to my guacamole for citrus-like freshness. It doesn’t get more simple and delicious than that.
And good guacamole is all about a balance of flavors and textures. Taste as you go.
Mango Guacamole Ingredients
You’ll only need a handful of fresh and healthy ingredients to make the best mango guacamole:
- Avocado
- Mango
- Red onion
- Jalapeño
- Cilantro
- Lime
- Salt
How to Make Mango Guacamole
- Step 1: Mash the avocados – Place the flesh of the avocados into a bowl and mash with a fork until semi-chunky consistency. You want some texture.
- Step 2: Add everything else – Stir in the mango, onions, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt to taste.
Serve immediately or refrigerate covered with plastic wrap so that no air touches the guacamole. Before serving, taste and add more salt and lime juice if needed.
Guacamole Tips
- Use ripe avocados (but not over-ripe). If need to, leave them on your counter until soft. Or place them in a paper bag with couple of bananas to ripen.
- Use ripe mango. A mango is ripe when it feels soft and is very fragrant. I do not recommend frozen mango for this recipe.
- Leave some texture. Guacamole is best when it has some chunks of avocado in it.
- Taste as you go. Guacamole is all about the balance of the creamy avocado with the acid in the lime and the salt. Taste for salt and lime juice before serving and add more if needed.
- Store properly. You can’t keep guacamole from turning brown but you can slow it down. Cover the guacamole with plastic directly on its surface and refrigerate until ready to serve. Guacamole is best served the same day.

CAn you do this without jalapeño and with peppers
Katya says
I think you definitely can if you don’t want it spicy. However the sweetness of the mango balances out the spiciness really well of the jalapeno.
