Authentic Guacamole Recipe Mexico, North America

At its most basic, guacamole is made by mashing a ripe avocado in a mortar and pestle with a dash of sea salt until it turns into a thick paste. However, the recipe considered traditional these days will also include additional ingredients such as onions, tomatoes (which same consider not part of the traditional recipe), lime or lemon juice, cilantro, and a spicy component in the form of chile serrano, cayenne, or jalapeño peppers. The consistency can be either smooth or chunky, depending on personal preference. It is typically served as a dip with tortilla chips or vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, and celery, but it is also equally at home in salads, atop pizzas or pasta, and is used as a condiment in burritos, burgers, tacos, and omelets.
