smashed pea avocado toast


So, word on the street is Avocado Toast is the new Kale Salad, or something like that. It's okay by me. I love a nice smooth avocado on some crunchy, crusty bread.

This recipe includes some nice Mexican flavors like cilantro and lime. I added a sprinkle of cayenne pepper on top for a little kick.

And here is a craft my son made up. He wrapped a piece of paper towel with orange tape and said it was a rock. Then he said the rock needed a dinosaur so I made a T-rex.

Another great way to use this avocado mixture is spread some on a toasted tortilla and place a fried egg on top.

Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until mostly combined - or how you like.  I happen to like mine chunky.

  1. I love avocado toast, but my belly doesn't. It has the strangest reactions to avocado. Sigh. I'll just live vicariously through you!
