What To Serve With It
Guacamole’s a star, but it needs the right partners—I love serving mine with crispy chips and fresh veggies for dipping. It’s also fantastic on tacos or smeared inside a cheesy quesadilla for a delicious twist. You can’t go wrong with any of these pairings!
Chips and Veggies
Since guacamole’s creamy texture and bold flavors deserve the perfect pairing, I love serving it with crispy tortilla chips or fresh, crunchy veggies. For guacamole dips, nothing beats the classic combo of salty, golden chips—they’re sturdy enough to scoop up every last bite. But if you want lighter, crunchy options, try sliced bell peppers, cucumber rounds, or jicama sticks. Their natural sweetness balances the richness of the dip, and their crispness adds a fun contrast. Sometimes, I even mix both for a party platter—it’s a crowd-pleaser that lets everyone enjoy guacamole their way. Simple, delicious, and always a hit!
Tacos and Quesadillas
When I’m making tacos or quesadillas, I can’t help but think of guacamole as the ultimate sidekick—it’s just too good not to include. Whether it’s dolloped on top of quesadilla fillings like melty cheese and grilled chicken or spread inside a taco bursting with toppings, it adds that creamy, zesty kick I love. I’ll pile my tacos high with shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, and guacamole for extra freshness. For quesadillas, a scoop of guac on the side is perfect for dipping. It transforms every bite, making these dishes feel even more special—like a flavor party in my mouth.
