Best Guacamole Bowl
What makes chips, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, eggs, and dozens of other foods even better? Guacamole. At its essence, guacamole is an avocado-based dip that dates back over 500 years to the Aztecs in the Yucatan peninsula. Avocados can be mixed with lime juice, cilantro, diced tomatoes, salt, and an endless variety of ingredients in either chunky or smooth textures. If you love guacamole, it's good on just about anything. If you don't–well–this isn't the conversation for you. But like anything that can be made in a variety of ways, many people prefer their own recipe to anything that can be bought in a store or served in a restaurant. So, if you’re looking to take your guacamole-making game up a notch, you should have a designated vessel for the occasion. We decided to take a look at some guacamole bowls and compile our selection of what we consider to be the best options available. Have a look now!
