Guacamole is an avocado-based dip or salad first created by the Aztecs in what is now Mexico. In addition to its use in modern Mexican cuisine it has also become part of American cuisine as a dip, condiment and salad ingredient.

| Avocado | 2 large |
| Tomato chopped | 1 medium |
| Red onion | 1/2 small |

Notes:
- Choose the avocados that are a little soft to touch.

- If you are not using green chillies, add 1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes.
- If you are not using guacamole immediately, store it in a airtight container in refrigerator because it oxidizes very fast.
