Guasacaca with tortilla chips

Guasacaca (also spelled Wasakaka) is a sauce commonly eaten in Venezuela. It is made by mixing avocado, parsley, bell pepper, coriander, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, and other seasonings. It is commonly eaten with grilled meats, cakes, empanadas, tequeños, appetizers, and other traditional dishes. It is similar to guacamole, but with a stronger flavor.

Variations

The ingredients can be either chopped up or blended. Some fats like mayonnaise or extra virgin olive oil can also be added to the mix.
