This Whole30 Guacamole with Pork Belly is seriously to die for! This guacamole is full of flavor and the soft tender pork belly is the icing on the cake. This recipe is great for appetizers and the perfect addition to add to your tacos.
This recipe was inspired by my husbands favorite place to eat in the Burg, Tako! They had this on their menu years ago and it has not been back since.

Whole30 Guacamole Ingredients:
- Avocados: Make sure they are ripe! If they are ripe they should not be stiff and somewhat soft. I personally like the hass avocados. In terms of organic, since avocados have a nice outer covering around them, they are not considered part of the dirty dozen so It is ok if they are not organic.
- Lime-Lots of lime juice! This is what gives this paleo guacamole a citrus taste and prevents it from turning brown. I like to use my electric citrus juicer to juice the limes. It ensures I am getting the most juice possible from each lime. I like this one HERE.
- Yellow onion-To give this guacamole even more flavor and a nice crunch. Make sure the onions are diced up.
- Garlic-You can never have too much garlic! No need to mince it if you are using your food processor to make your guacamole.
- Jalapeno- To add a nice kick.
For The Grilled Pork Belly:
- Pork belly: I like to get this from the butcher at Whole Foods. Cut the long piece of fat off of the one side with a sharp knife. Then, cut the pork belly into 1 inch cubes.
- Paprika-Adds a nice kick!
- Avocado oil-This helps form a marinate for the pork belly.
- Sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder-To flavor.
- Fresh cilantro-This is what makes the guacamole.
How To Make:
For the paleo guacamole:
- First, decide if you like your guacamole smooth or chunky. If you like it smooth, place all of the guacamole ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. If you like it chunky, dice up the onion, mince up the garlic, and chop the jalapeños. Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix and smash with a pork or a potato masher.
For The Grilled Pork Belly:
- First, make sure the long strip of fat is cut off of the pork belly. Preheat the grill to 350 degrees F. Next, using kitchen scissors, cut the pork belly into 1 inch cubes. Add all of the spices and avocado oil to a bowl without the pork belly to marinate. Lastly, place a large piece of foil on the grill and arrange the pork belly into a single layer on the foil. Grill for 20 minutes without opening the lid and then flip and cook for an additional 20 minutes.
To Assemble:
- Dice up the pork belly to even smaller pieces, Serve with fresh cilantro and onion on top if desired.
