Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocados

    Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

    Mash the Avocados

    Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado to your desired level of creaminess (smooth or chunky).

    Season

    Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
