What avocado-based condiment is a common nacho topping?

Guacamole is a common avocado-based condiment used as a nacho topping.

Guacamole is traditionally made by mashing avocado and may include ingredients such as onion, tomato, chile pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Its creamy texture contrasts with the crisp tortilla chips, while its fresh, rich flavor balances salty cheese and spicy toppings.

On nachos, guacamole is usually added after the chips and cheese have been heated. This helps preserve its cool texture and keeps ingredients such as lime juice and fresh herbs from losing their character. It may be spooned over a platter, served in a separate bowl, or added in small portions so diners can dip individual chips.

Guacamole is not the only green topping associated with nachos. Jalapeños, cilantro, lettuce, and avocado slices may also appear, but they are different ingredients. Guacamole specifically refers to the mashed avocado preparation. Alongside salsa and sour cream, it is one of the most familiar modern nacho accompaniments.
