Guacamole

The rightful claim to this globally beloved dip belongs to the Mayas, one of the world’s major ancient civilizations that once expanded throughout Central America. During the heyday of the Mayan Empire, avocados were a treasured crop eaten as a snack or accompanying more elaborate food preparations.

1 large ripe avocado, peeled, pitted
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 green chile pepper seeded, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Chop red onions, cilantro and green chillies. Set aside. Slice avocados in half and remove the pits. Dice the avocado halves and scoop out with a tablespoon. Place in a bowl. Add the onion, cilantro, green chillies, lime juice and salt to the bowl. Stir together (without overdoing it) until all ingredients are mixed enough, but the avocado retains a chunky texture. Serve with corn tortilla chips.
