Chilean Palta Recipe

Originally native to Mexico, avocados were brought to Chile by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century and have since become a key ingredient in Chilean cuisine.
In Chile, Palta is especially popular in the central and southern regions of the country, where it is often served as a side dish or used as a topping for bread, meat, or fish.
Palta is also a common ingredient in salads, such as the traditional Ensalada Chilena, which combines avocado, tomato, and onion. Similar to Mexican guacamole, Palta is a spread made by mashing avocados until smooth and creamy. With its rich, buttery texture and flavor, Palta enhances a wide range of dishes.
