Ingredients for Spicy Mango Avocado Toast

Avocados provide a creamy base that carries all the flavors beautifully. Make sure they are ripe for the best texture.

Mango adds a delightful sweetness and juiciness, which pairs wonderfully with the creamy avocado.

Lime juice keeps the avocado from browning and adds a zesty brightness to the mix.

Red onion gives a sharp, savory bite that counterbalances the sweetness of the mango.

Cilantro introduces a fresh, herby note that complements the tropical vibe.

Jalapeño brings the heat, making this dish exciting. Adjust the amount to your spice preference.

Sourdough bread serves as a sturdy and flavorful base that holds up to all the toppings.

Extra virgin olive oil adds richness and a fruity hint that ties everything together.

Red pepper flakes offer an extra kick of spice, perfect for those who love a little heat.

Tips & Tricks

  • For extra creaminess, add a dollop of Greek yogurt to the avocado mash.
  • If you prefer less heat, start with half a jalapeño and taste before adding more.
  • Toast your bread just before serving to keep it from getting soggy.

Serving Suggestions

Spicy Mango Avocado Toast Recipe Walkthrough

Start by dicing your mango into small cubes. Aim for pieces small enough to easily spoon onto the toast, but not so tiny that they lose their juicy character. Once diced, toss them into a mixing bowl.

Next, add your red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño to the bowl. These ingredients will add layers of flavor to your salsa. Squeeze in the lime juice, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Give everything a good mix to ensure the flavors meld together nicely.

Now, take your ripe avocados, halve them, and remove the pits. Scoop the flesh into another bowl and mash with a fork. You want a slightly chunky texture, so don't overdo it. This mash will be the creamy layer that holds the salsa on your toast.

While you're prepping the avocado, get your sourdough bread slices toasting. You want them golden and crispy to contrast with the creamy avocado and juicy mango.

Once your bread is toasted to perfection, spread a generous layer of your mashed avocado on each slice. Don't skimp here — you want enough to create a tasty cushion for the toppings.

Top each avocado-smeared slice with a generous spoonful of the mango salsa. Drizzle with olive oil to add a touch of richness, and finish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for that final kick.
