Guacamole
This is a very traditional dish from Mexico, dating back hundreds of years to its origin in Aztec culture. Its name comes from a combination of the native Nahuatl words ahuacatl (avocado) and mulli (sauce). With Spanish influence in the 16th century, this evolved to guacamole. Guacamole is an oft-requested favorite of our guests and can be enjoyed as an appetizer with chips or as a side to complement other Mexican dishes such as burritos, enchiladas, and more.
It is rich in nutrients – with the avocado providing lots of healthy monounsaturated fat – though most people love it for its rich flavor, creamy texture, and zing of spice. So grab a group of friends, a bag of blue corn tortillas chips, and the following recipe – and dig in! Serves 8 – 10 Ingredients: ●

Peel and mash avocados in a medium serving bowl. If you want to get authentic, then use a molcajete, a specialized mortar made of volcanic stone that’s perfect for authentic guacamole. Add chopped onion, tomato, garlic, serrano chile, and cilantro and mix. Season with salt and lime and add olive oil. Continue to mix to blend flavors. Serve with tortilla chips.
