Sure, guacamole is a Mexican dip, but the concept can be adapted to so many different flavour profiles, like with this Lebanese-inspired version. The basics are essentially the same, but I add tahini and Za'atar spice blend, and use lemon juice instead of lime juice. It's an awesome addition to a middle eastern themed dinner!
