To make the avocado cream sauce: Dice avocados, place them in the food processor with all the ingredients. Process on high. The consistency should be creamy. Chill in the refrigerator.
To make the tostones: Slice off about 1" off each end.
Score down the length of the plantain with a paring knife. Do this in two separate spots.
Cut 1" pieces. Fry in enough vegetable oil, to cover the pieces, until they begin to turn golden.
Remove and drain on paper towel.
Using the bottom of a glass press down, and sprinkle with salt. Fry again until golden brown.
Serve immediately with the avocado cream sauce.
