There are a lot of reasons we have to be thankful of Mexico. Well, apart from Salma Hayek and Gael García Bernal, depending on your preference, one of the best things that have ever come out of the Latin American country is guacamole.

Even Americans in the U.S. have their own recipes at home and favorite restaurants to go to for their favorite avocado-based dip or salad. Meanwhile, here are some of the yummiest versions you should try out.

Guacamole with Cotija Cheese

This recipe is courtesy of the Carnal Dish blog. And, what makes this one so delicious? Well, it just so happens to be a combination of the blogger's three favorite recipes: The guacamole at Rosa Mexicano, the guacamole at Oyamel and the one from Chipotle.

The guacamole stood out because of the sprinkled Cotija cheese on top, which is a Mexican cow's milk cheese. And for all the meat lovers, another idea is to add crunchy bacon bits to go along the cheese. Check out the full recipe here.
