[S]ure, you could make this irresistible guacamole for a backyard barbecue, or a block party, a brunch party maybe… any event that would take you out of your pajamas, off of your couch, and into the presence of other people (gasp.) OR… you could make a giant bowl of this guacamole, keep your pajamas on and settle in for a good, old-fashioned Netflix binge. I mean. To me, the choice is clear.
Choose your own adventure. I will often choose pajamas and privacy, especially where guacamole is involved.
It’s easy!
Ripe avocados are pitted and scooped into a big enough bowl. Diced red onions plus finely diced jalapeño into the avocado.
Lots of lime to keep things tart, green, and to prevent scurvy.
Salt and pepper too because, always.
Cilantro for that particular guacamole punch.
And mango instead of tomatoes today! The sweetness and juiciness is a wonderful compliment to the creamy avocado and savory onions.
I also added a splash of tequila to the guacamole. The fragrance alone is a nice complement. The slight bite is welcome.
Now… guacamole is a very personal endeavor. It’s like making an omelet. Everyone is very particular, as they should be.
Maybe you like your guacamole more onion-y, with way more spice, with no cilantro or all the cilantro, or without the tequila. The recipe below is an outline, feel free to adjust as your taste permits.
Have fun! Also… let me know what you’re Neflix binge selection is. I’m curious.

Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries and Cedar Cove all the way!
What a fun twist on Guac! Looking forward to trying this – Thanks, Joy!
I love adding peach or mango to guacamole. I think the sweetness is such a nice compliment to the lime, jalapeño, and cilantro! My current Netflix binge is Bob’s Burgers. If you haven’t seen it is so hilarious!

Mango is a great idea! I am sure it is awesome :D

Mango guacamole, garlic hummus, warm Na’an, cherry tomatoes with basil leaves, white wine, my wife, our pajamas, and a LOST binge on Netflix. Thanks for the start of a great menu!
The only difference is that we like our guacamole well pureed, spell that S M O O T H.
That is the lovliest looking mango I have seen in a long time. What a delightfully refreshing dish!
I’m watching Mad Men so avocado + tequila is pretty on point! Yum…
truly I could eat an entire recipe of these- they are just perfect peanut butter cookies!
pass me a plate of these.

There are few foods I love more than guacamole and this sounds like a great twist!
I want to eat my weight in this guacamole, love!
YUM.
I was hoping your commenters would supply a bigger of show suggestions! Come on people!
Grace & Frankie is my latest binge. The Unbreakable Kitty Schmitt is also fantastic.
We have never thought to add mango to our guac! Oh so excited about this! Gonna be delish! We say guac everyday! Love it sooooo much!
OH my! I LOVE guacamole but love a good mango even more! Together? That’s a match made in heaven! I’m trying this ASAP! Thanks for sharing such a great idea/recipe.
Oh man, paired with a margarita and my weekend is golden!! Yum!
Ahhh gorgeous! And I vote PJs and Netflix!!
Can’t wait to try this! Seems perfect for 4th of July BBQ’s.
Definitely binging Orange is the New Black tonight!!
This looks ahhmazing!! I love the idea of adding mango! And I’d definitely choose to stay at home with this. When it comes to guacamole, I really hate sharing.
I was intrigued until you mentioned the tequila and now I’m totally sold! This looks amazing.
Also nflix binge is totally going to be OITNB Season 3. Girls night tonight to binge watch it. I was going to re-make your insane bacon-corn-pops-furikake-popcorn but maybe I’ll make this instead.
We put tequila in our pico de gallo! And by ‘we,’ I mean my boyfriend puts tequila in his pico de gallo especial and I eat ALL of it in one sitting – much to his eternal disappointment no matter how much he makes it is ALL gone. LOVE this idea of using this idea in the guacamole!
You speak to my heart, Joy! Nothing I love more than fresh mango… I’ve never tried it in guacamole but I’m sure it’s delicious!! I cannot stop watching Chef’s Table on Netflix – perfect for curious foodies. Happy Friday!
Wow, mangos and avocados are two of my favorite food! Cannot wait to try this. Thanks for sharing!!!!

Tequila and mango?? I like your style..
I’m so into this guacamole. My go to is more traditional: salt, pepper, maybe a bit of garlic, but sometimes I love to get creative and add pecans, tomatoes, and caramelized onions. I love the mango jalapeno idea. A little bit of tropical fruit in guacamole is so heavenly! This sounds amazing. Lovely job!
I have everything to make guacamole….including mango! I’ll be binge watching Orange is the New Black while I eat it.
tequila in guac?? how have i never thought of this?!
I feel like I might be coming down with a case of the scurvy. Do you think this guacamole is in order? Loving the addition of mango. . .perfect for this sweltering weather we have been having as of late.
I’m a guacamole tart, I’ll mix it up any day of the week…sometimes I even make it with yogurt and lemons. In times of need, I’ll try and make guacamole out of anything and an avocado.
Mako Mermaids on netflix…I’m not ashamed.

I was JUST thinking about making mango guacamole today, and wondering whether it would be selfish to make it at noontime while my fiancé is still at work so that I don’t have to share. I’m glad to know you approve of my antisocial avocado tendencies!
I feel so refreshed just looking at this! I bet it would be super tasty on a tortilla with some charred and juicy grilled steak!
Yum! Must try.
Just finished Sense8 binge. Recommended!
Love this Joy! I just made pineapple guacamole this week so I know I’d love it with mango. Definitely gonna have to try this one!
Love this! Simple and easy. I’d probably eat that entire bowl of guacamole myself! ;P

Xx
