Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Toast the bread or rolls lightly while you make the filling.
- 2
In a medium bowl, roughly mash the chickpeas with a fork—leave some texture (about 6–8 quick mashes).
- 3
Halve and scoop the avocado into the bowl; mash together with the chickpeas until well combined but still chunky.
- 4
Stir in minced garlic, lemon juice, Sriracha, yogurt (if using), chopped onion, cilantro/parsley, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust lemon, heat, or salt.
- 5
If desired, lightly oil or butter the toasted bread and layer greens on one slice, then spread a generous amount of the chickpea-avocado smash.
- 6
Top with tomato slices, additional greens if you like, and close the sandwich. Slice in half.
