Ingredients
  

2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread

1 ripe avocado

1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon tahini

1 small garlic clove, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika

Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Olive oil (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Toast the Bread: Begin by toasting the slices of whole grain or sourdough bread until they are golden brown and crisp. This will provide a sturdy base for the toppings.

    Prepare the Chickpea Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rinsed chickpeas, minced garlic, lemon juice, tahini, salt, pepper, and paprika. Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the chickpeas until they are coarsely mashed but still a bit chunky. Adjust seasonings as necessary to taste.

      Avocado Prep: While the chickpeas are being prepared, slice the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a separate bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork, leaving it slightly chunky for texture. Season with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance flavor and prevent browning.

        Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is toasted, layer the chickpea mixture evenly over each slice. Then, generously spoon the mashed avocado on top of the chickpeas.

          Garnish: Drizzle a thin layer of olive oil over the top. If desired, sprinkle small pinches of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Finally, add fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro for a burst of freshness.

            Serve & Enjoy: Serve immediately while the toast is still warm for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy as a nutritious breakfast, satisfying snack, or light meal!
