essential guacamole

The Hass Avocado Board says that the three essential ingredients are avocado, chili, and tomato. That may be traditional, but I think that the world's best guacamole consists of avocado, lime juice, and salt.

Essential Guacamole:
1 avocado, mashed with a fork (the texture should be left somewhat coarse)
juice of one lime
salt to taste, about 3/4 tsp.

I increase the salt if serving with unsalted tortilla chips.

The addition of sour cream turns it into avocado dip, not guacamole.
