Loaded Guacamole
We all love a good classic homemade guac like our Best and Easiest Homemade Guacamole. However, this Loaded Guacamole is epic and on a whole other level! It’s guac meets Mexican street corn! It’s chunky, creamy and so flavorful! Made with grilled corn on the cob, cojita cheese, ripe avocados, Roma tomatoes, red onions, jalapeños, fresh cilantro, freshly squeezed lime juice, and spices. Once you’ve had guac like this you will never go back!
How to pick ripe avocados:
When shopping for your avocados, feel how hard they are. If they are really hard then they’re not ripe enough. If they’re too soft, then they’re already starting to rot on the inside. Chances are that avocado will be black and not taste good. To make the perfect guacamole you need an avocado that’s perfectly ripe. When you touch it, it still feels firm but a bit soft.
If you are shopping a day or two before you will be making your guac then buy avocados that are really hard. they will be ready to be used in guac by the time you’re ready to make it. They’ll still be firm but soft to the touch. That’s how you want your avocados to feel before cutting into them.
Another great way you can tell if an avocado is ready to be used; is simply by removing the stem right at the bottom. This will show you the color of the inside of the avocado. If it looks kind of yellowish then it’s not ready. Brownish means it has started to go bad. You want a bright green shade!
What to put in guacamole to keep it from turning brown?
Fresh lime juice is great for preventing avocados and guac from browning. The acids from the lime juice will help keep your guac fresh and slow down the browning. If you are making this guac to serve later, add a bit of extra lime juice to prevent browning. Also, leave the pits from the avocado in it. Keep in the fridge until you’re ready to serve it. Remove the pits and stir it a bit. You will notice your guacamole will be fresh and vibrant green. No brown spots at all!
