· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
GUADALAJARA – The Mexican state of Jalisco set a Guinness World Record on Thursday by preparing 12,646 kilograms of the unmistakable Mexican dish in the municipality of Zapopan, part of the Guadalajara metropolitan area. The previous record was held by the municipality of Tancítaro in the neighboring state of Michoacán, which set a mark of 6,800 kilograms last April. After nearly three hours of preparation, Guinness World Records official judge Alfredo Arista Rueda confirmed that the organizers met the requirements for processes, hygiene, and weight to secure the record. 'I have reviewed all the evidence, and they had a record to beat of 6.8 tons set a few months ago in the state of Michoacán. After reviewing all the evidence and having a confirmed official number, they have just taken the Guinness World Record title,' he said, prompting cheers from the crowd. About 800 culinary students, specialized chefs, and volunteers chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime, salt, and nearly two tons of avocado pulp, which they mixed in a large container to create the guacamole.
