Is this a regional thing? Guacamole with mayo in it?

[Anonymous]

I grew up in Texas and the guac always had mayo. At home, that is - hard to imagine the Mexican restaurants made it that way.

I'd never make it that way now.

My mom in Canada used to make guacamole with mayo. I thought it was amazing until I moved to Los Angeles and found out what real guac tastes like!

An au pair from Mexico gave me her family guac recipe and it had mayo. I was grossed out and never made it.

It's a stretch out expensive food thing to feed more people

Gross!! Avocado is already fatty enough.

We stretch ours out with tomatoes. Way more bulk than mayo.

Mayo keeps the avocado from turning brown. I wouldn't make guacamole with mayo -- but if I have avocado leftover, I do mix it with mayo and it will keep until the next day. Then I use it in salads or as a samdwich spread.

Yuck.

That’s not guacamole.

[Anonymous]

That is almost as bad as chocolate hummus.

The person who thought this up also came up with the Very nasty black bean brownie recipe.

Disgusting crazy people.

No way would I eat guacamole with mayonnaise in it.

I’m from Arizona and when I worked at a store where I was almost the only non-Mexican on the payroll, some of the ladies there put sour cream in their guacamole, probably to stretch it out, but mayo? 🤢

At least sour cream is something you often have on the plate with your Mexican food.

Tex-mex isn’t Mexican food.

During the conversation, she said "oh, I got Duke's mayo!" A couple weeks ago, we had a conversation about how we use Duke's mayo at my house and that Hellman's has sugar in it. Okay, cool.

Come to find out she puts mayonnaise in her guacamole. It's completely smooth, like humus. I googled it and it's all over the internet in recipes. I don't even want to taste it.

Southern!!! Is she from NC? Only time I ever had this served to me was in Raleigh. I almost puked.

It’s not an American regional thing. It’s from a part of a Mexico so it may be from whomever gave them the recipe. It’s all about the stretching of ingredients.
