Guacamole is a sauce made with avocado and green chile. The name guacamole comes from the Nahuatl “Ahuacamolli” translated into Spanish, which is composed of the words Ahuacatl (avocado) + molli (mole or sauce). The avocado had an erotic significance for the Aztecs, so much so that the women could not perform the harvesting of the fruits, since they symbolized the testicles.
