Fiesta Guacamole

Grab the chips and get your taste buds ready for a fiesta! 🎉 Guacamole is one of the most basic recipes out there - all it really takes is avocado and salt. But it's fun to jazz it up sometimes too! Black beans are an awesome addition for extra "oomph" and you can play around with other ingredients and spices. (In addition to the ones here, you can also try sweet corn, garlic, bell pepper, jalapeno or cayenne for some heat.) For this version, I also opted for one of my personal favorite spices (cumin!) for a punch of flavor. I'd love to hear what variations you come up with!
