Mash the Avocados: In a bowl, combine the peeled and pitted avocados with sour cream or Greek yogurt. Mash them together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency without large lumps.
Season the Mixture: Stir in the fresh lime juice to add brightness, then blend in the garlic powder along with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring the flavors meld nicely.
Spread on Serving Board: Evenly spread the creamy avocado mixture on a large serving board or platter, creating a base layer to showcase the toppings attractively.

Notes

For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or drizzle with your favorite hot sauce.
This board can be made up to 1 hour in advance; refrigerate covered tightly to prevent browning.
Use ripe but firm avocados for the best texture and avoid mushiness.
Feel free to substitute feta with goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
