Guacamole with Orange Juice

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

The guacamole with orange juice recipe came to me because I was out of limes, but I had oranges! This simple swap created a wonderful change from the ordinary guacamole with its unique and sweeter taste. You are in for a quick preparation (about 25 minutes prep time) that makes this an easy guacamole without lime to impress your family and friends.

What You Will Need:

  • Juice of one large orange
  • 2 avocados diced
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic diced
  • 12 grape tomatoes quartered
  • 1 teaspoon each of sea salt and black pepper
  • cilantro to taste
  • 1/2 of a jalapeno diced (optional)

The avocado for the Guacamole with Orange Juice Recipe

I can’t tell you how many times I have gone to the store and bought an avocado and planned on using it within a day or so. Then I forget about it after a day and it goes bad. Ugh! Now I have been better at planning my avocado usage. The avocado needs to be diced. First, slice around the center of the avocado. Your knife will hit the seed of the avocado. Use the seed as a guide. Once cut, twist the avocado into two pieces. The seed should end up in one of the halves. Just twist the seed out. You can scoop out the flesh of the avocado and then dice it up.

The tomatoes

I usually go with cherry tomatoes for the guacamole with orange juice recipe. The cherry tomatoes tend to not get mushy. Even when quartered, they will stay together and give the guacamole some added texture.

All the other ingredients

The other ingredients in the guacamole with orange juice recipe are super easy to prepare! It is just some dicing! Remember, if you do not like too much garlic then hold some back. Don’t like cilantro? It is ok not to include it with the recipe. The same goes for the jalapeno. You can add all, some, or none of the jalapeno. This is a recipe you can make your own!

This recipe can be used to make tacos with the shredded pork from the slow roasted pork shoulder!

I hope your friends and family enjoy the guacamole with orange juice recipe as much as mine does!

FAQ’s:

Can I make guacamole with orange juice ahead of time?

Yes, while it’s best fresh, this guacamole stores well in the fridge. A tip is to press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning.

Why did you choose cherry tomatoes for this guacamole?

Cherry tomatoes are an excellent choice because they tend to hold their shape and not get mushy, even when quartered. This adds a nice, firm texture to the guacamole.

Whatโ€™s the best way to dice avocados for this recipe?

After cutting the avocado in half and twisting it, you can easily dice the flesh in its skin before scooping it out. This method is mess-free and efficient.

Is this guacamole recipe spicier than a traditional one?

The recipe is only spicy if you choose to add the optional diced jalapeno. If you don’t add it, the dip has a sweeter, non-spicy flavor from the orange.

Can I mix this guacamole in a food processor?

You can, but it’s important to use it with a couple of quick pulses. Over-processing in a food processor can result in a very smooth, liquidy texture, so hand mashing is often preferred for more control.

How does the orange juice affect the flavor of the guacamole?

Using orange juice instead of lime juice gives the guacamole a distinctly sweeter taste. It’s a subtle but wonderful twist on the classic tangy flavor.
