Homemade guacamole
This easy-to-make sauce has won over many people and is one of the most popular. It is of Aztec origin, and its original Nahuatl name, “ahuacamolli”, combines “ahuacatl” and “molli”, meaning “avocado” and “mole” or “sauce”, respectively.
Unlike the industrial guacamoles that are usually found in supermarkets, authentic guacamole does not have cheese, milk, or any other dairy product, since these are only used in order to use less avocado, which makes the flavor lose authenticity and the result is of very low quality (especially at a nutritional level).
Another strength of this sauce is, in addition to the richness of its ingredients, the fact that they are consumed raw, which allows us to benefit from 100% of the nutrients they contain.
Thus, being made mainly of avocado , it is rich in complex carbohydrates (which provide energy and have satiating power), lecithin , glutathione (antioxidant), fiber , omega 9 , vitamins E and group B ( B6 and B9 or folic acid ) , calcium , copper , iron , magnesium and potassium .
In addition, by bringing tomatoes and onions , we also provide lycopene , alliin , flavonoids , vitamins A and C , sulfur , phosphorus , sodium and, in smaller amounts, manganese , selenium and zinc .

- Step 1Cut the tomato, onion, cayenne pepper and cilantro into small pieces (the latter is optional) and toss them in a bowl.
- Step 2Peel and debone the avocados, add them to the bowl and crush them until they are crushed, but not with mashed texture, but with the odd half-inch piece.
- Step 3Add the salt and lime juice and stir to mix all the ingredients well. When we have it ready, we serve it in a bowl or in the same bowl.
