The history of guacamole is a long and winding one, dating back to the ancient Aztecs. The word "guacamole" comes from the Nahuatl word "ahuacamolli," which means "avocado sauce." The Aztecs used avocados to make a variety of dishes, including a spicy sauce that was served with tortillas and other foods. Over time, guacamole spread to other parts of Mesoamerica and eventually to Europe. The Spanish conquistadors brought guacamole back to Spain, where it quickly became a popular dish. Guacamole was introduced to the United States in the early 1900s, and it has since become a staple of Mexican-American cuisine. Today, guacamole is enjoyed all over the world. It is a versatile dish that can be served as a dip, a topping, or even a spread. Our Creamy Guacamole with Roasted Tomatoes is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this classic dish.
