This Fully Loaded Guacamole takes guacamole to a new level! Avocado is combined with black beans, jicama, corn, bell pepper, jalapeno, cilantro and lime. Tons of flavor and texture in every bite!
Guacamole fans will also love my copycat Chipotle Guacamole and Corn Guacamole.
I’ve made a whole lotta guacamole in my life, playing with the ingredients and adding one thing or another to make things interesting. Then, one day a very long time ago, I had the wild idea to add everything under the sun, all at once.
It was a good idea.
This Fully Loaded Guacamole is sort of a mash-up of traditional guacamole and Cowboy Caviar. The result is an avocado dip that’s loaded with texture and flavor.

Ingredient Notes
- Avocados – I like to use large Hass avocados for guacamole. Avocados are ripe and ready to use when they yield to gentle pressure. At this level of ripeness, they will slice beautifully (see below) but still hold their shape. Avoid using hard underripe avocados or very soft overripe avocados for the best result.
- Black beans – A can of black beans lightly rinsed with cold water and drained well.
- Red bell pepper – Diced red bell pepper adds great flavor and pretty color contrast.
- Frozen corn – Using frozen corn makes this super simple to put together and eliminates the need to cook the corn in advance. If using fresh sweet corn, either grill it or boil it briefly to soften the corn a bit. This will make a good amount and you can easily scale it down if you have less of a crowd to feed.
- Jicama – Jicama is very mild, slightly sweet, and has the best crunch. This crunchy root vegetable adds such great texture to this guacamole! I also love it sliced into sticks and dusted with Tajin for a healthy snack.
- Cilantro – We love our cilantro in this house but you can opt to leave it out if you’re not a fan.
- Jalapeno – Remove the ribs and seeds for a mild guac or leave some seeds intact for a little heat.
- Lime and salt– The juice from a fresh lime and a little salt.
Easiest Way to Cut an Avocado
- Slice – Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and set the halves peel side down on a cutting board. Using the tip of a sharp paring knife, carefully slice into the avocado in one direction in thick strips. Then, rotate the avocado and slice other way to create a crisscross pattern.
- Scoop – To remove the cubed avocado, run a spoon along the outer edge of the entire avocado, just inside the peel and scoop the chopped avocado into the bowl.
How to Make Fully Loaded Guacamole
- Prep the ingredients – Place the frozen corn in a fine mesh colander and rinse it with cold water, running your hands through it, until it has thawed. Drain it well and then rinse and drain the black beans. Chop and/or dice the remaining ingredients.
- Combine the ingredients – Add all the veggies and beans to a large bowl, season with salt, and squeeze the juice from the lime over the top. Toss it lightly to combine.
This Loaded Guacamole has a chopped consistency, versus the smashed consistency of traditional guacamole. If you toss the mixture lightly it will (mostly) hold it’s chopped form. A little smoosh is okay.
Storage Tips
- Make-Ahead – If you don’t plan to serve the dip immediately, press one or two of the avocado pits into the guacamole then cover it with a sheet of plastic wrap, pressing the wrap right down inside the bowl and over the surface of the guacamole. This will ensure that less air hits the surface and will help prevent it from browning the way that avocados tend to do. I don’t remember where I learned this but I swear by it. It works!
- Leftovers – You can use this same method for storing leftovers. Squeezing a little fresh lime juice over the surface of the dip can also help prevent browning. Any recipes made with chopped avocado are best consumed within a day.

Could you Please Tell me What Jicama is? and is it in the Produce area of the store??
Hi Valerie,
We are doing a guacamole roundup on Friday for Guacamole Day and wondered if we could include this delicious recipe and picture in our post. There would be a link for the recipe to your post along with your blogs name.
Thanks so much.
Of course! Thanks for including my recipe 🙂
Thanks for the GREAT guacamole recipe and the pressing down the plastic wrap tip. I put pit to prevent, but never press it down – missing the crucial step! I was at the CPK the other day and ordered the salad from small plates – I wasn’t paying attention the guacamole recipe. But we love guacamole and sounds like it won’t be enough for the family. This recipe is wonderful, Valerie!
Love guacamole that is loaded with veggies! I’ll have to try this soon!
Even though it’s not traditional, I love every ingredient you put in here so I would love this guac!
Making your own is a lot better than from the stores or restaurants. You know the quality of ingredients you put in it and you control the flavor. And the most important thing is you get a lot more! 🙂 That is one hearty and beautiful guacamole, Valerie!
So scrumptious! Love your delicious spin on guacamole. This is a killer recipe, Valerie! It would be a HUGE hit at my neighborhood parties. Thanks for sharing!
What a perfect name for this dish!!! So much more than a guacamole. I’d be eating this with a fork. Looks delicious!
Love this! When I was maybe eight years old I got my first ‘cookbook’ (a little kid-friendly cookbook), and the first thing I learned to make from it was guacamole. Ever since then I’ve been dubbed “The Guacamole Maker” of my family. I swear, every time my mom buys avocados she calls me up and asks me how to do it. 😛
I never would have thought to add so many thing to it – I love the idea of a little corn in there, will have to give it a try!
