Guacamole with salsa!

(serves 4)

What to do with too many ripe avocados that you can't eat fast enough?! Guacamole is a very festive Mexican dip made from avocados, some spices and lime juice ~ delicious! I had a few recommendations that i still want to experiment with, but for my first attempt i just tried it plain with no spices, then with the paprika mix described below ~ definitely better with the spices! Other suggestions to try out were with tabasco sauce or beef taco seasoning! Best appreciated with nachos, or just with some corn chips for entertaining!

A tasty bite!
