Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the plain Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, and onion powder to the blender.
Add the fresh cilantro leaves, ensuring that they are loosely packed.
Pour in the black pepper for a mild kick.

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to two days for later use to allow flavors to meld.
