What is guacamole?

This avocado dip is typically associated with Mexican cuisine and can be found on many appetizer menus. It can be eaten with tortilla chips, dolloped on top of nachos, or rolled into burritos. It always starts with mashed avocados, then most recipes call for salt, lime juice, onion, cilantro, and diced tomatoes. However, these ingredients are quite flexible, and you can add or subtract ingredients according to your preference. If you like spicy food, you can throw in a diced jalapeño.
