I haven't made anything from "Everday.." book, but I did check it out of
the library before I bought it. I think the recipes look as good, but not
as complicated as "One Plate..."

Here is what he says on p. 160, (I'm paraphrasing)

Basic: avocados, garlic clove & salt

To Make it herby, add cilantro and lime juice

To make it luxurious, he adds to it, hot green chili, white onion, tomato in
a dice.
