A taste of the tropics meets Mexico in this twist on guacamole in this Tropical Guacamole, loaded with avocados, pineapple, and mango.
Serve this Tropical Guacamole up with some Homemade Tortilla Chips and you’re set for game day!
It’s that time of year when everyone is cheering on their favorite team, hoping that they make it to the “big” game.
Me? I’m more worried about what is going to be on the table than what teams are playing. Honestly – I don’t even usually remember who is playing. For me, it’s all about the food!!
Which is ok by me. I’m happy enough to spend my days looking for the perfect football food.
And it doesn’t get more perfect than guacamole. Unless you add in pineapple and mango to that guacamole. Yep – I’m taking a tropical turn with this one!! Since I’m ready for warmer temps, and since I can’t change the weather outside, I thought that I might as well bring a little bit of the tropics to my living room. I have a thing for pairing pineapple and avocados (seriously – they go so well together!), so I thought I’d whip up a batch of guacamole and mix in some fresh, juicy pineapple. And why stop there? I added in some mango as well, and it was the perfect addition.
This is definitely game day food!
If you didn’t already know, I’m a totally avocado addict. I could seriously eat one every day, just sprinkled with a little bit of salt. But they are so versatile, too, used in everything from these Avocado Egg Rolls to these BLAT Hot Dogs. I love that avocados are available all year long, no matter the holiday or occasion!

does anyone know what I can use when making guacamole in place of lemons or limes……allergic to citrus acid????
Deborah says
I haven’t tried any of these, but I did a quick online search and some people said to use either tamarind paste or vinegar. You’ll want to start with just a little and taste as you go, I’m guessing, but I think they would both be worth a try!

this is my new addiction! I found it on Pinterest, and now that summer is finally close it’s the perfect snack. I left out the cilantro (I think it tastes like soap) and added a dash of cumin and celery seed….literally making my mouth water just typing this!
Deborah says
I’m so glad you loved it!!

Joanne says
I’m technically allergic to avocados, but if we’re being honest…I would totally risk a stomachache for a scoop of this!

Heather of Kitchen Concoctions says
I love, love avocados; especially turned into guacamole! I recently shared a recipe for mango pomegranate guacamole and loved how the sweet fruit paired with the spiciness of the guacamole. I know I would love this version with pineapple as well!
