Total time: 15 min
Yield: Serves 2
Ingredients: 2 slices of sourdough bread (or bread of choice); 2 ripe avocados; 1 lime, juiced and zested; 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped; 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional); 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided; 1/2 teaspoon sea salt; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1 small garlic clove, minced or grated; 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds (pepitas) for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the avocado mixture

In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture. Add the lime juice, half of the lime zest, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined but still slightly chunky.
Toast the bread

Brush the remaining tablespoon of olive oil on both sides of the bread slices. Toast the bread in a toaster, under a broiler, or in a skillet until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Assemble the toast

Divide the avocado mixture evenly between the toast slices, spreading it generously. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes if using, remaining lime zest, and pumpkin seeds.
Serve and enjoy

Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and the avocado mixture is fresh. For an extra touch, you can drizzle a little more olive oil on top or add an additional squeeze of lime juice just before serving.
