If using tortillas, place them on a microwave-safe plate and heat on high for 30 seconds to soften and make pliable.

In a medium bowl, mash avocado. Add ranch dressing, cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir well or blend for a smoother texture.
