Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tropical avocado, peeled and cubed (about 300–350 g)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (15 ml)
- Salt to taste, about ¼ teaspoon (1.5 g)
- Black pepper to taste, about ⅛ teaspoon (0.5 g)
- 2 Portuguese bread rolls or panes de agua
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the avocado, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mash and mix until smooth with some small chunks remaining.
- Slice the bread rolls lengthwise using a serrated knife to create two halves.
- Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the bottom half of each bread roll.
- Top with the remaining bread halves to form sandwiches.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- If using Hass (Mexican) avocados, use 2 instead of 1 tropical avocado.
- For extra flavor, prepare the avocado as an ensalada de aguacate by making an onion dressing and adding chopped parsley.
- Best enjoyed fresh, as the avocado may brown over time.
