: mashed avocado that is mixed with chopped tomatoes and onion, seasoned, and often served as a spread or dip

Example sentence:

Etymology:
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Besides "guacamole," Mexican Spanish gave us other appetizing words, such as "taco," "tamale," "quesadilla," and that peppery favorite, "jalapeno." It's also the source of several words often associated with the American Southwest and the life of the cowboy. These include "ranch," "mustang," "bronco," and "wrangler." The pint-sized dog called the "Chihuahua" gets its name from a state in Mexico, while another member of the canine family, the "coyote," likewise has a name with roots in Mexican Spanish.
