Creamy guacamole with chunks of fresh mango, coriander and serrano chilli.

About this recipe

Mango guacamole is a tropical variation of the classic Mexican guacamole that combines the creaminess of avocado with the juicy sweetness of ripe mango. The contrast between the heat of serrano chilli, the acidity of lime, the freshness of coriander and the sweetness of mango creates an explosion of flavours that works brilliantly as a dip with tortilla crisps or as an accompaniment for fish tacos, seafood or grilled meat.

History & Origin

Guacamole is one of the oldest dishes in Mesoamerica, whose basic recipe of mashed avocado with salt and chilli dates back to the Aztecs, who called it ahuacamolli (avocado sauce). For centuries, guacamole was prepared austerely: avocado, chilli, tomato and salt. However, Mexican culinary creativity has always been restless, and the combination with tropical fruits has roots along the Mexican Pacific coast, where the states of Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima and Nayarit produce world-class avocados and mangoes alike. In these coastal regions, the fusion of avocado and mango arose naturally in family kitchens during seasons when both fruits were simultaneously abundant. The Manila mango, small and intensely sweet, or the Ataulfo mango, silky and perfumed, are the ideal varieties for this preparation. This modern version of guacamole gained international popularity in the 2010s, when contemporary Mexican cuisine began experimenting with combinations that highlighted the tropical flavours of the country. Restaurants in Mexico City, Oaxaca and the Riviera Maya adopted it as a gourmet variation that surprises the palate with every bite, proving that pre-Hispanic tradition and innovation can coexist in perfect balance atop a crispy tortilla crisp.

Method

1
Cut the avocados in half, remove the bone and saca the pulpa with a spoon. Place it in a bowl amplio and machaca with a fork until you get a texture semichunky, leaving algunos trozos.
💡 No machagues demasiado; the trozos of avocado le dan mejor texture.
2
Peel the mango and cut it into small cubes of aproximadamente 1 cm. Set aside the half for incorporar to the final.
3
Finely chop the red onion, the serrano chilli (without seeds if you prefer less picante) and the fresh coriander.
4
Fold in to the avocado machacado the half of the mango into cubes, the onion, the serrano chilli, the coriander and the lime juice. Mix with movimientos envolventes. Season with salt to taste.
5
Add the resto of the mango for encima como decoración. Serve immediately with totopos, nachos or as a side dish of tacos of fish or prawns.
💡 Para evitar that oxide, cubre with plastic directamente on the surface of the guacamole si not it sirves of inmediato.
