Do you love tableside guacamole at your favorite Mexican restaurant? If so, you’re in for a treat because we’re about to share an easy Texas guacamole recipe that will blow your taste buds away!

One of our favorite restaurants in Texas is Uncle Julio’s. This Tex-Mex favorite began in Dallas many years ago and was THE Dallas hot spot in the 1990’s! We always had to order their frozen swirl margarita (half margarita and half sangria) and the made-fresh tableside guacamole. 

Still to this day, Uncle Julio’s is one of my favorite restaurants for amazing Tex-Mex dishes. Over the years, I watched them make the tableside guacamole so many times that eventually this small town Oklahoma girl learned how to make a similar copycat version at home. I’m sharing my homemade version today!

Quick Tips for Texas Guacamole

  • JAZZ IT UP – To make your guacamole extra special, try adding some roasted corn or crumbled queso fresco cheese.

  • ½ cup diced white onions
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

  • Mix everything together until well combined.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with additional cilantro and jalapeño slices if desired.
  • Guacamole Tips and Variations:
  • If you like your guacamole a little spicier, add more jalapeños or even some diced serrano peppers.
  • To make this guacamole even healthier, you can add some diced bell peppers, corn, or black beans.
  • You can also add a pinch of cumin or chili powder for extra flavor.
  • To keep your guacamole from turning brown, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole and press down to remove any air bubbles before storing it in the fridge.
