- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 slices of whole-grain bread, cut into small squares
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado until creamy.

Notes
Tip: For extra zest, add lime juice or top with sliced radishes for a crunchy garnish.
For an added crunch, consider topping these bites with a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds or crispy bacon bits. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of chipotle or substitute it with smoked paprika for a less intense kick.
These avocado toast bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours. To avoid browning, drizzle with a bit more lemon juice before serving.
