Guacamole (US /ɡwɑːkəˈmoʊliː/; Spanish: [wakaˈmole] or [ɡwakaˈmole]), is an avocado-based sauce that originated with the Aztecs in Mexico.[1] In addition to its use in modern Mexican cuisine it has also become part of American cuisine as a dip, condiment and salad ingredient.[2][3] It is traditionally made by mashing ripe avocados with a molcajete (mortar and pestle) with sea salt. Some recipes call for tomato, onion, garlic, lime juice, chili, yogurt and/or additional seasonings.
