Slice each avocado in half, running the knife around the pit and twisting the two halves to open the avocado.
Remove the pit and scoop the flesh from the skin of each half. Place the flesh in a medium mixing bowl.
Mash avocados with a fork or masher until mostly smooth, you can leave it a little chunky if you prefer.
Squeeze in the lime juice and add salt, cumin, and chili powder. Stir to mix evenly.
Add chopped cilantro and stir to combine.
Serve immediately.

You can also buy lime juice already squeezed, which will save you from squeezing the limes yourself.
To ripen avocados faster, place them in a brown paper bag for about 3 days.
Use ripe avocados for the best flavor. Avoid using unripe avocados. Avocados should give just slightly when squeezed gently. Avoid avocados that feel fluid under the skin. A few brown spots in the avocado flesh are just fine and perfectly edible.
You can get kitchen tools to cube, mash, and pit avocados, or you could use a potato masher to mash them if you don’t have an avocado tool handy.
