What popular snack is guacamole most often served with?

Guacamole is most often served with tortilla chips.

Tortilla chips are pieces of corn tortilla that are typically cut into triangles and fried or baked. Their crisp texture makes them an ideal contrast to guacamole’s soft, creamy consistency, and their mild corn flavor allows the avocado, lime, chile, and herbs to stand out.

The pairing is especially common in Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurants, where tortilla chips are served alongside dips such as guacamole, salsa, and chile con queso. In Mexico, similar corn-based foods include totopos and tostadas, while the modern mass-produced tortilla-chip industry developed in the United States in the late 1940s.

Tortilla chips are not the same as corn chips. Tortilla chips are made from tortillas, whose corn has undergone nixtamalization; corn chips are generally made directly from corn meal. Guacamole can also be spread on toast or served with vegetables, but tortilla chips remain its best-known snack accompaniment.
