Guacamole is a rich dip made with fresh avocado, enriched with lime juice, salt and various spices. Its history dates back to the Aztecs, the ancient inhabitants of the Mexico until the arrival of Spanish conquistadors.
The word “guacamole”, derives from Ahuaca-Molli, avocado sauce in Nahuatl language. Originally the recipe did not requested to add tomatoes and onions… But like everything, even recipes evolve over time 🙂 .
This avocado sauce is usually used to accompany tortillas and corn tacos, but you could also serve it with grilled chicken or fish or on a crispy bruschetta 🙂 . Have fun with it! 🙂
