What Inspired Me:
My love for guacamole was sparked by years of indulging in the creamy dip at Mexican restaurants. I’ve since perfected my own recipe, incorporating fresh papaya and crispy tostadas for a truly unforgettable experience.
Guacamole actually dates back to the Aztec empire; originally starting with avocado, tomato and chilis but expanded to incorporate onions, coriander and lime juice.
