Meanings
-
(countable, uncountable) An avocado-based greenish dip with onions, tomato, and spices, common to Mexican cuisine and often served with tortilla chips.
The guacamole and queso fundido (melted cheese with a slathering of chorizo sausage on top, spooned onto sections of flour tortilla) are excellent, and two botanas (assortments) offer items like chalupas (small crisp tortillas) not always found on Chicago menus.
