Guacamole is creamy, tangy, and packed with good fats. It’s definitely earned its spot as a go-to dip, topping, and all-around flavor booster. Made primarily from ripe avocados, it’s not just delicious but also full of nutrients like fiber, potassium, and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
Guacamole goes with way more than tortilla chips. From wraps and bowls to burgers and burritos, this versatile dip can elevate a simple dish into something seriously satisfying. Whether you're looking for a light lunch, a party snack, or a dinner with a twist, there's a guac-friendly recipe to match.
Top tip: Don’t toss those extra avocados! You can freeze them to cut down on food waste. Just freeze whole, halved (without the pit), or mash them with lemon juice to use later for quick guacamole. It’s a great way to always have the base for your favorite green dip on hand. Keep reading to find out the best things to eat with guacamole.

In a small bowl, mix cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry pan or microwave.
Assemble the tacos by adding pieces of fish to each tortilla.
Top with shredded cabbage, red onion, a spoonful of guacamole, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Add hot sauce or salsa if you like some extra heat.
Serve with lime wedges on the side.

You can use any white fish you have on hand, and if you’re short on time, a bag of coleslaw mix works well in place of shredded cabbage.
