Peel the avocado and mash into a pulp with a mortar. Separately, very finely chop the tomatoes, onion, fresh coriander (you can substitute parsley) and chilli. Add everything to the avocado and pound again. Add the lime zest (you can substitute lemon) with its juice and the paprika. Season with salt and pepper.
