The Tale of Guacamole
Story updated
Guacamole descends from an Aztec dish called "ahuacamolli," combining the Nahuatl words for avocado and sauce. Avocados were already being cultivated in Mexico for thousands of years before the Spanish arrived, and mashing them with chile, onion, and lime remains one of the country's most enduring pre-Columbian food traditions.
