• Slice through the avocado lengthwise until you feel your knife hit the pit. Continue slicing around the pit in a full circle around the avocado. Twist the avocado until it releases from the pit and you have 2 halves. Use a spoon to remove the pit, then scoop the flesh into bowl with lime juice and spices. Repeat with remaining avocados.
