Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed
- 1/2 cup corn
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 slices of whole grain bread, 1 ripe avocado, 1/2 cup of rinsed black beans, 1/2 cup of corn, 1/4 teaspoon of cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder, salt and pepper to taste, and fresh cilantro for garnish.
- Toast the slices of whole grain bread in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 5 minutes.
- While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado. Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired level of creaminess. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In another bowl, combine the rinsed black beans and corn. Add the cumin and chili powder to the mixture, and stir well to combine all the flavors. Season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
- Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado onto each slice of toast.
- Top the avocado layer with the black bean and corn mixture, distributing it evenly across both slices of toast.
- Garnish the toasts with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of flavor and color.
- Serve immediately while the toast is warm, and enjoy your delicious Southwestern Breakfast Avocado Toasts!
Tips
- Choose a ripe avocado that yields slightly when gently pressed to ensure maximum creaminess.
- For extra crispiness, use a cast-iron skillet or griddle to toast your bread instead of a regular toaster.
- Customize your spice level by adjusting the amount of chili powder or adding a dash of hot sauce.
- For added protein, consider topping with a fried egg or crumbled queso fresco.
- Use fresh corn when in season for the best flavor, or opt for fire-roasted corn for a smoky twist.
- Prep your ingredients in advance to make morning assembly quick and easy.
- Experiment with different whole grain breads like sourdough or sprouted grain for varied textures and nutritional benefits.
