Ingredients:
Instructions:

2. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the mixture.
1. Gently fold all ingredients together until well combined.
2. Taste your guacamole and add salt and pepper if needed (optional).
1. Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl.

- If you need to store the guacamole, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap is in contact with the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados for a creamy texture and the best flavor. A ripe avocado will give slightly when squeezed.
- To add smokiness, consider roasting the tomato and red onion before mixing them with the avocado.
- For a spicier kick, add finely chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
- Ensure even mixing by mashing the avocados first before adding the other ingredients.
- Adjust the lime juice to your taste. It adds brightness and helps prevent the avocados from browning.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the guacamole to minimize oxidation.
Smoky guacamole is a delectable twist on a classic favorite, offering a perfectly balanced blend of creaminess, freshness, and a touch of smokiness.
