Cocolate was around when the Spanish arrived in the new world, its form was not a chocolate confection as it is known today.
The beans were processed by rolling for two days until they were a fine powder. The chocolate was then flavored and hot water added, enjoyed as a warm stimulant beverage.
Chocolate was taken to Europe and the chefs there did not know what to do with this bitter powder infused with coco fat. It was a Swiss confectioner who put the sugar and the fat into the sweet chocolate that we know today.

When the heart beats too fast, blood no longer circulates effectively in the body. The Maze procedure is used to stop this abnormal beating so that the heart can begin its normal rhythm and pump more efficiently.
Making guacamole
Guacamole is mainly comprised of avocados. There are countless variations and methods, but a traditional Mexican guacamole is made in a molcajete (mortar and pestle). You can use a bowl and a big spoon.
Finely chop a Serrano Chile (more if you like it), a small onion, a Roma tomato, and a generous handful of cilantro. Put that in the bowl. Add two or three peeled avocados and mush it all together. Some prefer a slightly more lumpy consistency, some less. If you leave the pits in it will not turn brown. At this point season with salt and lime juice to taste.
Simple guacamole
Mash up 2 cups of FRESH avocados. Mix in juice from one lemon. Salt and pepper to taste.
Simple and traditional
Here's a synthesis of the previous two -- both "authentic" tasting and very quick to make:
Mix together an avocado, half a chopped small red onion, a teaspoon each of chili powder, of garlic powder (chopped fresh garlic is better, but this is the quick version!), salt/pepper, and a splash of lime juice (or lemon juice if you don't have lime). Tastes very different after being refrigerated for a day (less "bright" and more rich/intense -- both are good)
Authentic guacamole
2 large ripe avocados chopped 1 tomato finely chopped 1-4 oz. can green chilies diced 1/4 cup onion finely chopped 2 tbsp. lime juice 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 1/2 tsp. chili powder 1/4 tsp. cumin Combine ingredients in a bowl. Mash mixture until avocados are slightly mashed. Chill. Serve with tortilla chips.

It is a Mexican food, first created circa 1943 by Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya at the city of Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico. The original nachos consisted of fried corn tortillas covered with melted cheddar cheese and pickled jalapeño peppers.
Usually powdered red pepper/chili, vinegar/water, and salt.
Look at the back of a bottle of Tabasco.
Very simple ingredients.
(Make sure the pepper/spice is very finely ground, unless you like it chunky... :)

Traditionally, Mexican foods can be high in sodium, but it can be easily reduced.
Since guacamole is a Spanish food, the word is already in Spanish.
Yes. If you can visually see the components of the mixture (in this case, tortilla, black beans, cheese, etc.) then the mixture is heterogeneous. (The prefix "hetero-" means different, as in you can see the different parts with the unaided eye.)
The food item that accompanies almost every Mexican meals would have to be tortilla!!
No, it is not safe to eat if it has been left out overnight.
It depends on what you are calling a "tortilla".
A Mexican tortilla is circular, unleavened, corn or wheat flour flatbread that can be used for wraps and fajitas.
The flour and corn tortillas from Mexico were initially used as an implement to get other food in the mouth by the indigenous inhabitants. The Spanish named them tortillas because their shape was similar to what they ate in Spain.
A Spanish tortilla is a potato and egg quiche.
Tortillas are not a quiche which has a pastry, nor are they frittatas. Frittatas are beaten eggs with a potato filling. Frittatas are slowly cooked in a frying pan until they are almost cooked through. Then they other side is either baked, broiled, or turned over and then finished.
Tortillas are Spanish. Originally they were probably small cubes of potato filling bound together with beaten eggs. They were prepared in Spain before the New World was discovered and were a subsistence food of the peasants. They are always fried on both sides.
As conditions improved for the peasants and the popularity of the tortilla grew with other classes other fillings were adapted until today there are many varieties. Now days tortillas may contain, meat, cheese, sausage, sea food, and almost any kind of vegetable or herb. After they are completely fried they may be further cooked in water or broth but they tend to be very delicate and difficult to handle.

The tamale is found in the main body of the lobster. If you split the lobster in half, you will see a green substance, this is the tamale. If what you see is red, that is the egg sac. You can eat both the tamale and the egg sac, however, I recently saw a warning about eating the tamale. It is basically a filter (similar to a liver in the body), for the lobster, and apparently the warning is that it can be contaminated, however the meat is not affected by this what-so-ever.
Because of how people make it.With juicy meat and mouth-watering condiments.
