Summer calls for quick, easy, cool meals. I’ve discovered a love for avocado toast, or in this case, guacamole toast.

How To Make These Toasts

Sauté red bell peppers and red onions, toss in sweet corn for just a minute or so to warm it up, and then pile it all on top of the guacamole. Other good ad-ons are chopped roasted poblanos, roasted sweet potatoes, or chopped tomatoes.

(You might want to sauté up a little extra of the pepper/onion/corn, because if you’re anything like me, you’ll be eating this guacamole toast multiple days in a row.)

But we need CHEESE. Next, crumble on queso fresco which not only looks pretty but adds a nice salty bite. Feta is great, too, if you can’t find queso fresco.

Then brighten up the whole scene with lime juice and cilantro. If you’re in the “cilantro tastes like soap” camp, just leave it off – there’s plenty of flavor with or without it. Or try drizzling a little of this fabulous homemade salsa verde over your guacamole toast! Wow, is that ever good!

Tip

You can substitute any type of guacamole or even  just mashed avocados. Learn how to make your own guacamole – it’s easy!
