Guacamole
3 servings
20 minutes
Guacamole is the heart of Mexican cuisine, an ancient sauce with a history dating back to the Aztecs. The main ingredient is avocado, which has a creamy, buttery texture and a subtle nutty flavor. In this version, fresh cilantro, garlic, and spicy chili pepper are added for zest and richness. Cumin and lime enhance the aroma and freshness. Guacamole pairs perfectly with corn chips, tacos, burritos but also complements meat and vegetable dishes. Its creamy consistency and rich flavor make each serving a true gastronomic delight. Serve chilled to highlight the brightness of fresh ingredients.
