avocado dip

John Torode's guacamole makes the perfect accompaniment to burgers, nachos, or is great just on its own as a dip

John’s great guacamole

avocados

lemon, juiced

Tabasco sauce

coriander,

red onion, finely chopped

olive oil

salt,

Peel and stone avocados and put in a bowl. Mash using a fork until fairly smooth, but with a little texture. In a small bowl, mix together lemon juice, Tabasco sauce, chilli, coriander, onion, olive oil and salt. Fold this through the avocado. Make it just before serving and don’t put it in the fridge.

This is the best version of this classic guacamole dip. The ingredients are kept to a minimum, so it's as fresh-tasting as possible.

Best ever chunky guacamole

Use a large <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-cooks-knives">knife</a> to pulverise 1 large ripe tomato to a pulp on a board, then tip into a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-mixing-bowls">bowl</a>.

Halve and stone the 3 avocados (saving a stone) and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into the bowl with the tomato.

Tip the juice of 1 large lime, a handful of roughly chopped coriander, 1 finely chopped small red onion and 1 deseeded and finely chopped red or green chilli into the bowl, then season with salt and pepper.

Use a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-whisks">whisk</a> to roughly mash everything together. If not serving straight away, sit a stone in the guacamole (this helps to stop it going brown), cover with cling film and chill until needed.

Crispy corn tortillas surround a soft, perfectly-seasoned black bean filling. These tacos are super easy to make and taste even better with a drizzle of avocado cream sauce.

Crispy Black Bean Tacos

½ medium white onion, diced (0.14)

garlic, minced (0.12)

tsp cumin (0.02)

½ tsp paprika (0.02)

Salt & pepper

black beans (0.32)

cheese

tortillas

Avocado cream sauce

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low. Add in the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until turning translucent. Add in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Season with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste, then remove from heat. Add the cooked black beans to a large mixing bowl and roughly mash them. Stir in the onion mixture and combine well.

Filling

Once the filling is mixed together, add about ½ - 1 more tbsp of oil into the skillet and turn it to medium heat. Add 1-2 corn tortillas in a single layer and cook on the first side for about 10 seconds (the amount of tortillas you can cook at a time will depend on your pan).

Then, scoop about 3-4 tbsp of bean mixture onto one half of each tortilla. You can also add some grated vegan cheese on top if you want. Using a spatula, fold the tortillas in half and press down to shape the tacos. Cook on each side until golden brown, about 1-3 minutes.

Continue cooking the tacos following this process until all the bean mixture is gone. Make sure to top up the oil as your pan dries out.

Serve these black bean tacos warm with a side of vegan avocado cream sauce!

Tacos

This Mexican avocado dip recipe is an easy alternative to guacamole! Just whip up four basic ingredients in your food processor or blender. Serve this avocado dip as a party dip with vegetables or chips, or on tacos, nachos, quesadillas and more. Recipe yields about 1 1/2 cups; double if necessary.

Creamy Avocado Dip

avocados,

cilantro (some stems are okay)

lime juice (from about 2 1/2 limes)

jalapeño, seeds and ribs removed, roughly chopped

water, more as needed to thin

fine sea salt

Using a spoon, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a food processor or blender. Add the cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño, water, and salt.

Process, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary, until the sauce is smooth and creamy. (If the mixture refuses to blend, add additional water in 1-tablespoon increments, as necessary.)

If you would like a thinner, more drizzly sauce, add water in 1-tablespoon increments until it reaches your desired consistency. Taste, and add more salt if it’s not quite flavorful enough.

Transfer the avocado sauce to a small serving bowl. This sauce keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about 4 days.

Just whipped up a batch, Kate, and it’s terrific! I smeared it on rice cakes and dipped carrots, celery, and chips just to try a number of things. All great compliments.

I read that most of the cilantro stems are good for you, besides the leaves, when making cilantro dishes like this I cut large chunks from a washed bunch of cilantro into my Cuisinart Mini Prep food processor and grind the leaves and stems up before adding to rest of ingredients.

Delicious! I am going to love this recipe!

Vaoov. It looks very nice. I want to do it. Thank you.

As with all of your recipes this looks great, but I am curious, is it absolutely necessary to use cilantro? I absolutely hate the taste of it no matter how it's used. Is there a substitute? Or can it be eliminated from all recipes?

I use parsley when I don’t have cilantro on hand.

This was so delicious and made a great snack to have on hand for a few days! I’m going to make another batch in a moment, and may try a small amount of sour cream in it...not that it needs any changes...I just like to experiment.

Everyone I've served to for loves it. Not sure why it's better than, guacamole, but it's our new favorite appetizer.

I'm lactose intolerant, so I made this as a "dairy-free substitute" for sour cream in tacos and burritos, and wow it was amazing! Happily ate up the leftovers today with some tortilla chips. The only thing I changed was using dried cilantro (a big tablespoons-worth) instead of fresh since I don't keep fresh cilantro on hand. Will be making this on the regular :)

I just made this and I loved it!!!  We are avoiding peppers and tomatoes, so actual guacamole is out, and this is a great alternative!  Creamy and smooth, practically mousse-like in texture.  I will make this again and again.  Thank you!

I made this without coriander because I wasn't growing it but it would be amazing with it in. I have a garlic and onion intolerance so it was great to see an avocado dip recipe not requiring these items as there aren't many out there. Thank you!

The dip/sauce is silky smooth and looks good. However I found it quite bitter. The avocados gave it it’s velvety texture but you can’t taste them. The only thing I could taste was the bitterness of the lime. I adhered strictly to your recipe.
Maybe if I reduced the lime considerably it might be nicer for me – I’m sure some people might like the bitterness.

Love your avocado dip recipe!  It comes together so quickly, not much cleanup and tastes delicious on my tacos.

Yum!! I made this last night and absolutely loved it! Took my taco dinner to the next level.

I haven't made this recipe yet, but I plan on doing it within the next week or so for my one year anniversary with my boyfriend. We recently decided to cut out dairy and meat from our diet, and your website has helped us tremedously! I will be making your Halloumi Tacos and making your pineapple salsa as well to go with it! I will be sure to comment again to tell you how everything goes! Thank you for all the recipes!

Another show stopper from this awesome blog, you've done it again. The first person who tasted it out of the food processor said it tasted like it belonged in a four star restaurant. Solid. THANK YOU.

This is what  I have been looking for, the sad thing is I only had 1 avocado on hand, delicious :)

This is the best hummus! It's rich and creamy and packed with that irresistible avocado flavor. Think hummus meets guacamole, I mean what more could you want? Perfect dip for veggies or pita chips or as a spread for your favorite sandwiches.&nbsp;

Avocado Hummus

(15 oz) can chick peas, well drained

Tbsp olive oil (,

Tbsp tahini

lime juice

garlic (, peeled)

Salt and black pepper

cumin

Red pepper flakes (,

Pulse chick peas, olive oil, tahini, lime juice, and garlic in a food processor until smooth, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste (I did a scant 1/2 tsp salt and about 1/8 tsp pepper), add cumin and avocados and pulse mixture until smooth and creamy, about 1 - 2 minutes longer.

Serve topped with more olive oil if desired and sprinkle with cilantro and red pepper flakes. Serve with pita chips or tortilla chips.

Roasted Veggie Pitas

Avocados have never tasted better! Only 3 ingredients and tasty enough for a dip, spread, snack and easy appetizer!

Avocado Spread

avocado (ripened)

Tbsp white distilled vinegar

extra virgin olive oil

apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)

i made this for the super bowl and it was a major hit! It’s so refreshing, i can’t wait to make it in the spring/summer

Absolutely love this recipe! I added black olives and left out the vinegar. Delicious!!

I made this recipe when some friends came over.  It was a hit!  Can't wait to make it again.

I made this for the superbowl and it came out absolutely amazing !!!! Will definitely be making it again.  Thank you so much.

Recipe video above. It's like a cross between Guacamole and Hummus! This is a great bigger-batch avocado dip that takes minutes to make, for those times when you want one avocado to go further, or when you've got friends who are split between the Guac and Hummus camps. See notes for more variations.&nbsp;

avocado, 300 grams/10 ounces whole (or 2 medium)

chickpeas, drained (~14 ounces / 420 grams)

tbsp tahini (sesame paste) OR yoghurt

- 3 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice

coriander / cilantro leaves, packed (some stems ok)

garlic clove

Salt and pepper

water

Extra virgin olive oil

Coriander/cilantro leaves

Pine nuts (, toasted (hummus-style!))

Cut avocado in half, remove seed. Use spoon to scoop flesh into food processor. Add remaining ingredients. Start with just a pinch of salt because canned chick peas vary in saltiness. Whizz until smooth, scraping down sides as required.

Adjust: sour with lemon, salt, pepper, and dip consistency with water. Whizz again.

Dollop onto plate. Use spoon to make swirls on top. Drizzle over olive oil, sprinkle to pine nuts, garnish with coriander. Serve with chips, crackers or pita bread, see notes for most amazing stay-green storage tip!

The fresh flavor of homemade guacamole can&#39;t be beat! This simple avocado dip is creamy, zesty, and so deliciously fresh.

Guacamole

lime (2 Tbsp juice) (0.89)

Roma tomatoes (0.44)

jalapeño (0.09)

onion

Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (0.15)

avocados (or 4 small) (5.00)

salt (0.02)

Prepare the guacamole add-ins first. Juice the lime. Finely dice the tomatoes, jalapeño (remove seeds), and red onion. Roughly chop the cilantro.

Remove the peels and pits from the avocados. Place the avocados in a bowl, then mash them with a fork.

Add the diced tomato, onion, and jalapeño to the mashed avocados, along with the chopped cilantro, about 1 Tbsp of lime juice and ¼ tsp salt.

Stir the ingredients together, then taste the guacamole. Add more lime and salt to your liking. I usually end up adding about 2 Tbsp lime juice and ½ tsp salt total. Serve and enjoy!

Easy avocado dip with citrus, fresh herbs, and feta

Chunky Avocado Dip

A super snackable dipping duo: crispy homemade rice paper chips with a creamy vegan avocado dip! Gluten-free and just 5 ingredients and 10 minutes required!

Crispy Rice Paper Chips with Vegan Avocado Dip

½ medium-large ripe avocados ((1 ½ large avocados yield ~270 g diced))

Tbsp lime juice

sea salt

(~8 inch each) rice paper wrappers

Avocado oil

cayenne pepper ((optional))

To a food processor, add the avocado, lime juice, and salt (starting with the lesser amount). Process on high for about 2 minutes until creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust as needed, adding more salt for overall flavor or lime juice for brightness. Place whipped avocado in a serving bowl and refrigerate while you prepare the chips.

Meanwhile, using scissors, cut each rice paper sheet into quarters. Set aside.

Heat a 1/8-inch layer of avocado oil in a large rimmed skillet over medium heat. Test that the oil is hot by dipping a corner of a rice paper sheet into the oil — it should bubble and puff up immediately.

Once the oil is hot, add 1-2 rice paper pieces to the skillet at a time. Cook for a few seconds, until fully puffed. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining rice paper sheets. Once you are finished cooking, dust with salt and cayenne pepper (optional). Place the chips in a large bowl. Serve the chips with your whipped avocado dip. Enjoy!

Best when fresh as the dip will discolor and the chips will lose their crispness within 24 hours.

Creamy Avocado Dip that comes together with less than five ingredients in two minutes flat! This is the BEST easy, healthy snack. Also a great spread for tacos.
