Preheat your grill to medium heat.
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pits, and leave the skins on.
Brush the cut sides of the avocados with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Sprinkle the avocados with salt and black pepper evenly.
Place the avocado halves cut-side down on the grill.
Grill the avocados for about 4-5 minutes or until grill marks appear and the flesh softens slightly.
While the avocados are grilling, juice the lime and chop the cilantro finely.
Once the avocados are done, remove them from the grill and place them on a plate.
Squeeze lime juice over the grilled avocados and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately while warm, or allow them to cool to room temperature before serving.
