Cowboy Guacamole is healthy and super versatile. Everybody needs a great go to recipe, this one is my favorite.
This Cowboy Guacamole is a fun variation. A simple and delicious dip, that's loaded with fresh ingredients and a twist on the typical Cowboy Caviar that my family loves. We make this for Super Bowl Sunday every year. We also enjoy is during the warm summer months as a creamy appetizer alongside my Marinated Four Bean Salad.
Tips for making Cowboy Guacamole:
- Choose ripe avocados that are dark green and have just a little give. If you have some that are not quite ripe just put them in a brown paper bag or dark place and they will ripen in a day or two.
- Always drain your black beans or your guacamole will have a brown hue mixed up.
- Guacamole can't really be made too far in advance. Once it starts to get exposed to air it will turn brown.
I wasn't a fan of avocados as a kid, but I guess my taste buds have changed over the years because I can't get enough of them now. Guacamole is such a healthy addition to any meal, and it's great on burgers, burritos, tacos, and even scrambled eggs.

Yay I'm so happy you loved it Anthony and a great idea!
I'm on my second batch ! doing one avocado at a time. I love fresh cilantro , but it's wasteful for me , I used Goya recaito instead (and skipped the lime juice) ! Bought 1 small can of corn and 1 small can of black beans , used canned "fire roast tomatoes" ! Gives me enough for three batches . Very good ! PS I'm not cheap or lazy I just hate wasting food ! Thanks for the recipe !
