Food & Wine’s best guacamole recipes.

5 Variations on Guacamole

1. Guacamole with Charred Jalapeño and Scallions

F&W’s Grace Parisi invented this smoky guacamole.

2. Spicy and Smoky Guacamole

A pickled jalapeño makes this guacamole slightly tangy.

3. Tomatillo-Poblano Guacamole

In this lightened version of guacamole, tomatillo puree replaces some of the rich avocado, adding a bit of sweetness and tang; roasted poblano contributes a little heat.

4. Chunky Guacamole

Avocado has a rich, buttery taste, much of which comes from “good” unsaturated fat.

5. Chunky Guacamole with Cumin

F&W’s Marcia Kiesel’s take on everyone’s favorite dip has subtle tartness, balanced heat and a creamy-chunky texture.
