Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 4 slices of sourdough bread, 1/2 inch thick; 2 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled; 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice; 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin; 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1/4 cup finely diced red onion; 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely diced; 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered; 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish; 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or feta cheese as substitute); 2 tablespoons pepitas (pumpkin seeds), toasted

Instructions

Toast the bread

Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown and crisp. This can be done in a toaster, toaster oven, or under a broiler. Set aside on serving plates.
Prepare the avocado mixture

In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork until mostly smooth but still with some small chunks for texture. Add the lime juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper, and mix well to combine.
Add the mix-ins

Gently fold in the diced red onion, jalapeño, cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro into the avocado mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed.
Assemble the toast

Spread the avocado mixture generously onto each slice of toasted bread, dividing it equally among the four slices.
Add the toppings

Sprinkle each toast with crumbled cotija cheese, toasted pepitas, and additional cilantro leaves. If desired, add a light dusting of additional cumin or a squeeze of lime juice for extra flavor.
Serve immediately

Serve the Mexican-Style Avocado Toast right away while the bread is still crisp and the toppings are fresh. For an extra kick, drizzle with hot sauce or sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
