Guacamole (Easy & Tasty Dip)

The first recipe that comes to my mind when talking about mexican recipes and a favorite to many is the guacamole.Its a very good dip served with tortilla chips/mexican bowl rice made out of ripe avocados.The homemade guacamole is very simple to make and is very relishing too.Avocados have known to have cholesterol lowering properties.And thus its a very healthy dip too.We enjoyed this with tortilla triangles.Do try this creamy delicious dip !!
