Guacamole was originally made by the Aztecs.
The Aztecs liked the high content of fat in the fruit used to make guacamole(it is the fat that is good for you)
It is very popular in Mexico.
The Avacado(the main ingredient) is actually considered a fruit.
Guacamole is a dip, so it is commonly eaten with tortilla chips.

salsa originated in from the inca people. Aztec lords would serve salsa as a condiment on turkey,lobster and fish. The first man to call it salsa was Alonso de Molina. Charles E. Erath was the first man that started making salsa as a business. In 1941 Henry Tanklage made salsa with different peppers so people could have a choice of spiceness.
