Ingredients for Corn Guacamole
For this recipe you will need 8 simple ingredients:
- Ripe avocados
- Black beans
- Sweet corn: Either cooked fresh, canned, thawed frozen corn, fire-roasted, etc.
- Grape tomatoes: Or cherry tomatoes, roma tomatoes, etc.
- Red onion
- Fresh cilantro: Simply omit if you are not a fan.
- Fresh lime juice: I use about 2 tablespoons, but use more or less depending on how tangy you like yours.
- Salt
Variations
Change up this recipe with other flavors such as:
- Ground cumin: Start with about 1/4 teaspoon and increase as desired.
- Minced garlic cloves
- Finely diced jalapeño: Or serrano pepper.
- Chipotle in adobo: For spicy and smoky flavor.
- Cayenne pepper or serrano: To add some spice.
Storing
Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
You may also top the guacamole directly with plastic wrap to help keep it from browning if desired.
We find it keeps well in the fridge for about 4-5 days.

Did you know that the avocado pit actually helps the avocado from turning brown? I always stick my pit in the center of my guacamole bowls.

Cumin is my go to for absolutely anything! I never thought of adding black beans to guacamole, but now I know what I am whipping up when I get home tonight.
