Description

Cheesy Guacamole is a creamy and flavorful twist on the classic dip, combining ripe avocados with tangy lime juice, fresh cilantro, and a blend of cheeses including shredded cheddar and crumbly queso fresco.

Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Ingredients

  • 3 ripe avocados
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced jalapeño

Cheese

  • 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco

Seasoning

  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Serving

  • Garden of Eatin’ Bowls Tortilla Chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the avocados: Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the seeds carefully. Scoop the flesh out into a medium-sized bowl, ensuring you take as much as possible.
  2. Add flavorings: Into the bowl with the avocado, add the fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, shredded cheese, crumbled queso fresco, and minced jalapeño. Season with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper according to your taste preferences.
  3. Mash the mixture: Using a fork, gently mash the avocado and other ingredients together until you reach your desired texture—whether chunky or smoother. Taste the guacamole and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  4. Serve: Immediately transfer the cheesy guacamole to a serving dish and enjoy with Garden of Eatin’ Bowls Tortilla Chips or your favorite tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

  • Queso fresco is the preferred cheese for this recipe; if unavailable, substitute with cotija cheese for a similar crumbly texture.
  • For a spicier guacamole, increase the amount of jalapeño or leave some seeds in.
  • Serve immediately to prevent the avocado from browning. If you need to store it, cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface and refrigerate.
