Guacamole

Guacamole is a dip made of mashed avocados. It is flavored with chilies and lime or lemon juice. People usually add chopped tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro. The word guacamole comes from two Aztec words - "agucate" meaning avocado and "mole" meaning mixture. Therefore guacamole really means avocado mixture.
