Tropical Guacamole- An intriguing guacamole with some sweetness from mango, papaya and pineapple and less guilt. Yes! Yes! Yes! Paired with plantain chips, they make an amazing pair.
Avocados don’t have a season for me, I eat them all the time. They sometimes make a great replacement for butter when I’m trying to cut down on calories. They have such an amazing creaminess, yet are supremely healthy. To me, there isn’t any starchy side that doesn’t taste better with avocados. One of my favorite pairings is plantains and avocados. If you haven’t tried that combination you are missing out. Check it out right here.
So with game day around the corner, I thought it would be great to share this tropical guacamole with you guys. It would be a great addition to your game day appetizers, especially if you are trying to serve something vegan, healthy and gluten free – you’ve got it.
These plantain chips can be fried or baked, check out a guide of how to fry or bake them here. Or if you are super busy then grab a bag at the grocery store or even discount department store like Tj maxx. They carry a wide variety – sweet, spicy, savory and more. Trader Joes is another good place to start.
If you are a guacamole purist: then leave out the fruits and just go with nothing but cilantro, lime- juice and salt. But if you are one of those people that love spicy, sweet and creamy at the same time then go for it.
The good thing here is that you can taste and adjust to suit YOU! A little too bland? Add some garlic, jalapeno or spice. Want more sweetness? Then include more fruit. Don’t like any fruit in it? Leave it out completely – totally flexible.
