  "Ingredients": {
  	"Notes": "For about 4",
  	"Avocados": 4,
  	"Lime": 1,
  	"Coriander": true,
  	"Salt" : true
  }
}
Optional:

Tomatoes
Oregano
Onion

Instructions, dead simple


Step 1 - Chop the vegetables fine, you will need about two branches of Coriander
Step 2 - Extract the avocados, and mash them with a fork until a mashed potatoes consistency is achieved and not big pieces are left.
Step 3 - Cut lemon in half, squeeze into the mashed avocado the juice of one half and stop when 1/4 is left. Taste it, lemons vary in aggresiveness so it may be that this is enough if not, go on with the rest of that half.
Step 4 - The most delicate step! Salt: it will need what it feels like quite a lot salt. This needs to go by feel here. At least one teaspoon will be needed. Then pinch (and taste!) until you like it.

Variations


Mexican Branch: With tomatoes and onion
Guatemalan Branch: No tomatoes, with onion and oregano (very little)
Minimalistic Branch: Just lemon and salt.

Usually in Guatemala we eat it with tortillas, the delicious kind http://www.thefoodieskitchen.com/en/2010/09/guatemalan-tortillas-2/
not the crap you get in the market (or Mexico for that matter). But I guess nachos work great too!
