National Guacamole Day Recipes & Sweepstakes
Celebrate National Guacamole Day with Yo Quiero! + Whitness Nutrition 🎉
How’s this for foodie fate? National Guacamole Day lands on Taco Tuesday this year! As I shared on NBC Texas Today, it’s the ultimate mash-up of two Tex-Mex favorites—fresh, flavorful guacamole and juicy, protein-packed pork. And trust me, there’s no better excuse to dig into crave-worthy tacos, bowls, and salads that bring the whole family to the table.
In partnership with ¡Yo Quiero! and Texas Pork, I highlighted how guacamole isn’t just a dip—it’s the secret ingredient that adds staying power, nutrition, and flavor to meals all day long.
What We Cooked Up on Texas Today 🌮🥑
🥣 Breakfast Power Bowl – Pork Sausage + Guac
A high-protein, fiber-packed bowl that keeps you fueled all morning.
Ingredients (serves 2):
- 4 large eggs, scrambled
- ½ cup cooked pork sausage crumbles
- 1 cup cauliflower rice (or brown rice)
- 1 cup sautéed veggies (bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach)
- ½ cup ¡Yo Quiero! Original Guacamole
Directions:
- Cook pork sausage in a skillet until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, scramble eggs.
- Warm cauliflower rice and sauté veggies.
- Divide eggs, sausage, rice, and veggies into bowls.
- Top generously with Yo Quiero! Guacamole and enjoy!
✨ Nutrition note: Protein + healthy fats = satiety and no mid-morning crash. Pork preserves lean muscle, while guac adds heart-healthy fats + fiber.
🌮 Street Taco Vibes – Pork Carnitas Lettuce Cups OR Taco Salad
A fun, low-carb take on taco night that’s still family-approved.
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 1 lb pork tenderloin or sirloin
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp taco seasoning
- 8 large butter lettuce leaves (or 6 cups mixed greens for salad version)
- ½ cup pickled onions
- 1 cup salsa or pico de gallo
- 1 cup ¡Yo Quiero! Hatch Chile Guacamole
Directions (slow-cooker method):
- Rub pork with olive oil + taco seasoning. Place in slow cooker with ½ cup water. Cook on low for 6–8 hours (or high for 3–4). Shred with forks.
- For lettuce cups: Fill each leaf with shredded pork, top with onions, salsa, and a spoonful of guac.
- For taco salad: Build bowls with greens, shredded pork, onions, salsa, and a creamy guac dressing (thin Yo Quiero! Hatch Chile Guacamole with lime juice and water).
✨ Nutrition note: Pork = lean, protein-rich, and full of essential vitamins + minerals. Guac = heart-healthy fats + fiber. Naturally gluten-free and family-friendly.
👨‍👩‍👧 Family Meals Month Reminder
September is Family Meals Month—and nothing says family time like Tex-Mex!
- Pork is versatile, affordable, and flavorful—grilled, roasted, or slow-cooked.
- Pair with fruits, veggies, and whole grains, then finish with guac to tie it all together.
- Yo Quiero!’s guacamole lineup (Original, Chunky, Chunky Spicy, Hatch) stays fresh longer than homemade, making family dinners easier and tastier.
So, whether it’s a protein-packed breakfast or tacos with a twist, remember: guacamole isn’t just a dip—it’s your shortcut to crave-worthy meals.
