Ingredients
- 3 avocado large, ripe
- 2 Roma tomato seeded and diced
- 1/2 onion small, peeled and diced
- 1 jalapeño seeded and diced
- 3 tablespoons lime juice fresh
- 3 tablespoons cilantro fresh, chopped
- 3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado and mix the ingredients together till well combined. Salt to taste. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
- Note: Avocados turn brown when they are exposed to air for a long period of time, which creates oxidation. The best way to keep your guacamole from turning brown is to put plastic wrap over your guacamole, pressed right up against the surface of the dip so no oxygen can touch it, until you're ready to serve. Some say that placing the pit into the guacamole will achieve the same results. It will, for the surfaces that the pit is touching. To protect it more evenly across the entire surface, use plastic wrap.
