Guacamole Deviled Eggs

I've wanted to try Guacamole Deviled Eggs for the longest time and one thing became very clear in looking for recipes... Anything goes! Recipes call for anywhere from a half an avocado for 12 eggs to two whole avocados for six eggs. Some add sour cream, some use the avocado in place of mayo or dairy. Lime and cilantro were the two things everyone used (except me... I only had fresh parsley so I ran with it). I chose to add some crunchy diced jalapeno and wouldn't hesitate to crumble up some bacon next time too.

 They can be garnished with anything from pickled jalapenos to a pretty round slice of grape tomato (which would add beautiful color!). And while they're good either way I do highly recommend a generous sprinkling of smoked paprika.

I've added the dip label, this combination would make a great dip diced up fine, served on shredded lettuce and maybe topped with diced tomato and bacon... Serve with tortilla chips or crackers.
