Guacamole is a classic dip or spread that originated in Mexico and has become popular all over the world. It is typically made with avocado as the base, along with other flavorful ingredients like garlic, onion, tomato, lime juice, and jalapeno or other chili peppers. Guacamole is often served as an appetizer with chips or veggies, or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or other Mexican-inspired dishes. Cinco de Mayo, or the fifth of May, is a Mexican holiday that celebrates the country's victory over the French army in 1862. Guacamole is a popular dish to serve at Cinco de Mayo parties or other Mexican-themed events because of its delicious flavor and cultural significance.

Instructions

1.	Slice open the avocados and discard the pit. Scoop the flesh into a bowl.
2.	Mash the avocado with a fork or potato masher until it is mostly smooth but with some small chunks.
3.	Add the chopped scallions, minced garlic, quartered tomatoes, minced jalapeno, salt, and lime juice to the bowl.
4.	Mix all the ingredients together until evenly combined.
5.	Taste the guacamole and adjust for seasoning before serving.

PROS

Guacamole is a great appetizer or snack that is packed with healthy fats and nutrients from the avocado and other fresh ingredients.
It is also easy to make and can be customized to your preferred level of spiciness.

CONS

While avocados are healthy, they are also relatively high in calories.
Be mindful of portion sizes when enjoying guacamole as a snack or dip, and consider pairing it with veggies instead of chips.
