Guacamole is an avocado-based dip from the time of the Aztecs. In addition to avocados, the basic ingredients are lime juice and salt. Variations often include onion, tomato, hot chile peppers, garlic, cilantro, and other spices.
It is often eaten with tortilla chips, although it can be spooned onto or into almost any savory Mexican dish.
