For National Guacamole Day 🥑, we are sharing one of our favorite recipes- our Corn Guacamole! The addition of corn 🌽 to the guacamole adds a sweet pop of flavor💥 that we think will truly GUAC your world. 😎
We love guacamole as a snack with fresh veggies, as an appetizer with baked chips, or on top of tacos and quesadillas. How do you like your guacamole?
