Holy guacamole! 20 Ways to have more guac in your life

Instead of making endless batches of guacamole and dipping chips into endless bowls of it, layer it into your recipes for maximum flavor.

Adding guacamole to your regular recipes not only makes them delicious but also adds nutritional benefits, since guacamole is high in monounsaturated fats, fiber, potassium and more. Get creative with your guacamole by topping your burgers and hot dogs with it, slathering your omelets with it and even serving it alongside grilled seafood or chicken. Guacamole goes great with anything and everything.
