Guacamole is one of the most famous sauces in the world. It is a dish mainly composed of avocado, the tropical fruit par excellence of La Huerta de Pancha. Guacamole has its origins in Mexico, as the avocado (the main ingredient of this sauce) is a food that comes from the central and southern part of this country. It was first produced before the 15th century and its fresh, unmistakable taste has conquered much of the world.
It is a sauce that can act as a host for a multitude of dishes, including nachos with guacamole. Its original recipe is prepared with mashed avocados, lime juice, tomato and chilli, but it is true that there are other ways of preparation.
At La Huerta de Pancha we have come up with a guacamole recipe that is easy to make, but no less appetising for that. Here are the steps to follow to make amazing homemade guacamole.
Guacamole ingredients

Preparation of homemade guacamole
