Guacamole is a mixture made from avocados. It is generally spiced up with various ingredients including chiles, tomatoes, lime juice and diced onions. Often used as a dip, guacamole also has many other uses.
Appetizer
Guacamole makes a great dip and many variations exist. The dip is usually served with tortilla chips. A traditional Mexican dish includes wrapping it inside a warm tortilla.
Spread
Use guacamole as a spread by slathering some on toasted bread or on a tortilla for a wrap; add turkey, bacon, chicken or cold steak and your favorite fixings.
Potato Topping
Top a baked potato or baked sweet potato with guacamole. This is a more nutritious alternative to butter or sour cream. Top with chives, low fat bacon bits and/or diced tomatoes.
Eggs
Spread some guacamole on a toasted English muffin or wheat bread. Place a poached, fried or scrambled egg on the guacamole and add some picante or hot sauce, if desired.
Chicken Salad
Dice cooked mesquite or blackened chicken and mix with guacamole. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon into warm pita pockets or wrap in tortillas.
Burgers
Beef, turkey or veggie burgers taste great when topped with some guacamole, onions, lettuce, and tomatoes. Serve on toasted buns with tortilla chips.
