Trying to figure out what to make for everyday breakfast or lunch can be tricky. You want something easy to whip up with healthy ingredients that will give you energy all day. Sandwich is always a good choice, especially with chickpeas and avocados for vegans and vegetarians. Use your favorite bread, either whole-grain or sourdough, to make the sandwich, cut it in half, and enjoy! I would not suggest storing leftover chickpea avocado mixture overnight in the refrigerator. It will brown slightly over time because of the avocado, but it still tastes good!

Ingredients
Chickpeas: aka garbanzo beans. You can use either use canned or cooked chickpeas. If using canned, then rinse and drain it. I have cooked the dried chickpeas using Instant Pot Chickpeas method. Avocado: I used ripened Hass Avocado. Onion: red onion works best, so that’s what I used. Herbs: I used cilantro but feel free to use dill leaves or some parsley or other fresh herbs you have. Lime juice: I used the juice of half a lime. Feel free to increase or decrease according to your preference. Seasoning: salt, black pepper
How to Make Chickpea Avocado Sandwich
You can either cook dry chickpeas in Instant Pot, or if using canned chickpeas, rinse and drain them well. Add cooked chickpeas, avocado, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and seasonings in a large bowl. Using a fork or a potato masher, smash these ingredients until coarsely mashed. Taste and adjust the seasoning at this stage. Take a sandwich bread and apply some smashed chickpea avocado mixture generously on one slice of the bread. Top with spinach or any greens. Cover and press with another bread slice over it. Cut in half and enjoy.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with Masala french fries or a Salad and Soup for a filling meal. You can also serve this smashed avocado chickpea sandwich with a milkshake for kids and coffee or tea for adults as a breakfast or evening snack.
