2. To Make The Guacamole de Antigua: Remove the flesh from the avocado and mash with a fork in a bowl. Mix in the red onion. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the mixture. Rub the teaspoon of oregano between you fingers to release the herb’s oils and then add to avocado mixture. Add salt to taste.
