Instructions
- Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the Avocados: Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocados to your desired texture—chunky or smooth.

- Season and Finish: Add lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and taste. Adjust the seasoning or lime juice as needed.
