In the town of Tancítaro, Mexico, something amazing happened! People there made the world’s largest guacamole. It weighed 7.2 tonnes, which is about the same as 7,200 kilograms. That’s a lot of guacamole! This big event took place during the Avocado Fair, a special celebration for avocados.
Many people helped make the guacamole. There were 800 volunteers, including students and teachers. They worked together to mash avocados and mix them with onions, tomatoes, and lime juice. Everyone who came to watch could see the guacamole being made on big screens.
Once the guacamole was ready, it was shared with everyone at the fair. People enjoyed it on tostadas, which are like flat, crunchy tortillas. This event was not only fun but also showed how people in Tancítaro work together and take pride in their town. Before this, the record for the biggest guacamole was set by another town in Mexico, called Peribán. Now, Tancítaro holds the Guinness World Record!
