Step-by-Step Guide:

Prepare the Avocado: Begin by washing your avocado thoroughly under running water. Dry it with a clean cloth or paper towel. This step is crucial to ensure that you’re starting with a clean fruit, especially since the skin will be heated.
Prick the Skin: Using a fork or a small knife, gently prick the skin of the avocado a few times. This allows steam to escape while it’s being heated, preventing any microwave mishaps.
Wrap the Avocado: Take a paper towel and dampen it with water. Squeeze out any excess water so that it’s just moist. Wrap the avocado in this damp paper towel. This creates a steamy environment around the fruit, which is key to softening it.
Microwave the Avocado: Place the wrapped avocado on a microwave-safe dish. Microwave on high for about 30 seconds. Remove the avocado from the microwave (be careful, it might be hot) and feel if it has softened. If it’s still too firm, microwave it for another 10 seconds. Repeat this process but be cautious not to overdo it as we don’t want cooked avocado, just a ripened one!
Check and Cool: After your final microwave session, remove the avocado and gently press the skin to check its softness. It should yield slightly under pressure. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before using it, as this will help the fruit finish the ripening process naturally.
