Instructions:

1. Prepare the Avocados:
   • Place the diced avocados in a medium bowl. Add the lime juice to prevent browning.
2. Blend the Dip:
   • Add the sour cream, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika (if using), cilantro (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper to the bowl.
   • Mash with a fork for a chunkier texture, or blend with an immersion blender for a smoother consistency.
3. Taste and Adjust:
   • Taste the dip and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
4. Chill:
   • Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
