Start by toasting the whole-grain bread slices until they're golden and crispy. This step is crucial as it provides the perfect crunch to stand up against the creamy avocado.
While the bread is toasting, grab a bowl and mash the avocado. Add in the lime juice and a pinch of salt, mixing until it's smooth and well combined. The lime juice not only adds flavor but also keeps the avocado from browning too quickly.
Once your bread is ready, generously spread the mashed avocado mixture over each slice. Make sure to cover the edges so every bite is deliciously creamy.
Next, place the jalapeño slices on top of the avocado. Distribute them evenly, but feel free to add more or less depending on your tolerance for spice.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped cilantro, and minced garlic. This mixture will be your cilantro-lime drizzle. Mix until it's well blended.
Drizzle this cilantro-lime mixture over the avocado toast just before serving. This final touch adds a burst of flavor that ties everything together beautifully.
