Guacamole is an avocado-based sauce native to Mexico. The basic guacamole is traditionally made from ripe avocados mashed in a mortar with sea salt, but some recipes also include other ingredients such as tomato, onion, garlic, lemon juice, chili, and other additional seasonings (such as sour cream). In Mexico, guacamole tends to be spicy and it is typically used to accompany tacos, nachos and other meaty dishes.
