This authentic taqueria guacamole is a vibrant, vegan-friendly staple that brings the bright flavours of a traditional Mexican street-food stall into your home kitchen. Unlike chunky versions, this recipe focuses on a silky, pourable texture that makes it the perfect accompaniment for drizzling over spicy tacos, crunchy nachos, or grilled vegetables. The combination of ripe avocados and zesty lime juice creates a beautifully balanced dip that is both refreshing and rich.
