Celebrate International Guacamole Day: Easy Recipe + Funky Fall Stickies Fun

September 16 marks International Guacamole Day—the perfect reason to mash, mix, and munch your way through avocado deliciousness. Whether you’re hosting a mini fiesta or just dipping solo, here’s your go-to guide for guac greatness, plus a dash of seasonal flair with our Funky Fall Stickies.

Why We Love International Guacamole Day

• Simple & versatile: A creamy, fresh dip that’s just as perfect for chips as it is as a topping on tacos, burgers, or salad.
• Nutrient-rich: Avocados provide healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins—making guacamole a tasty, guilt-free treat.
• Loaded with tradition: Guacamole dates back to the Aztecs in Mexico—so celebrating feels both delicious and historically rich.

Quick & Flavorful Guacamole Recipe (Serves 4–6)

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
• 2 TBS chopped red onion
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
• 1 TBS finely diced jalapeño pepper
• Lime Juice (1/2 a lime)
• Optional add-ins: 1 tomato

Instructions:

1. Place the onion, jalapeño, salt and half the cilantro on a cutting board and use a fork to mash until juicy.
2. Scrape into a bowl, add avocado and remaining cilantro, and mash to desired consistency
3. Adjust to your taste: salt, lime juice for sour, more pepper for spiciness.
4. If using tomatoes, stir through.
5. Serve immediately with tortilla chips—or cover with plastic wrap (pour a layer of oil over the guac to avoid browning) and chill until ready.
