Voila! Your guacamole with corn and black beans is now ready to be served with some crispy tortilla chips or as a side dish with your favorite Mexican dish. The combination of avocado, corn, and black beans gives a fresh and vibrant twist to the classic guacamole recipe. The sweetness of the corn balances out the spiciness of the jalapeno pepper, while the black beans add a nutty texture and extra protein to the dip.
Tips:
- If you prefer chunky guacamole, don't mash the avocado too much. Leave some large chunks for added texture.
- If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro or parsley as a substitute.
- If you want to reduce the spiciness of the jalapeno pepper, remove the seeds and ribs before dicing it.
- If you don't have lime, you can use lemon or vinegar instead.
- If you want to make the guacamole ahead of time, cover it with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two days.
Guacamole with corn and black beans is a perfect pairing with any Mexican dish or as a snack for a movie night. It's healthy, flavorful, and easy to make. Give this recipe a try and impress your guests or family with your cooking skills!
