About guacamole

Ripe avocado is mashed with lime juice, onion, cilantro, serrano chile, and tomato into a chunky dip, eaten fresh before it browns.

What cooks argue about

The main argument is texture: mash the avocado smooth with a molcajete or fork, or dice it and fold it in for chunks, and whether tomato belongs in it at all.
