📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Guacamole dates back to Aztec times; the name comes from the Nahuatl word for "avocado sauce." Traditionally mashed in a molcajete (stone mortar), every family has its own ratio of ingredients they swear by. It's essential alongside tacos and tortilla chips.

🌆 Where it's eaten: A weekend backyard barbecue with family and friends: when someone starts mashing avocado in the molcajete, everyone else gathers around — it's practically a signal that the party has started.
