Slice the avocado thinly. Scoop about 1 Tbsp of the meat mayo mixture and place on a clean plate/chopping board and roughly shape it into a ball with a help of spoon or your clean fingers (don't have to be exactly round). Place about 6-7 slices of the avocado on top of the meat. Place the plastic wrap on top and wrap it up and it will help you to shape it into round balls (refer to the short clip below)
