Ingredients

2 ripe avocados (the softer, the better—like your excuses)
1 tablespoon Hatch green chili powder
1 lime (because everything is better with lime, including your attitude)
Salt, to taste
4 slices of crusty bread
Optional toppings: sliced radishes, crumbled feta, or a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning

Directions

Toast It Up: Start by toasting your slices of bread. If you don’t have a toaster, consider using the oven, or just set them outside and hope the sun works its magic.
Avocado Drama: While the bread is toasting, cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the green goodness into a bowl. Mash it like you mean it—this isn’t a time for half-hearted mashing. Add the juice of one lime and a pinch of salt. Stir in the Hatch green chili powder. Taste it and ponder if it’s spicy enough to make your ex sweat.
Spread the Love: Once your bread is perfectly toasted, generously spread the avocado mixture on top. Don’t be shy; make it look like a mini avocado mountain—because who doesn’t love a little drama?
Garnish Like a Pro: Top with sliced radishes, crumbled feta, or a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning. This is your chance to show off your culinary flair while simultaneously pretending you’re an Instagram influencer.
Serve with Attitude: Plate your “Hatch You’re Kidding Me!” Chili-Lime Avocado Toast and serve it to your unsuspecting guests, watching their expressions as they encounter the unexpected heat. Feel free to say,

Recipe Note

Adjust the Spice: Feel free to modify the amount of Hatch green chili powder based on your heat tolerance. Start with a little and add more if you’re feeling brave—just remember, no one wants to be sweating at brunch!

Avocado Quality: Make sure your avocados are ripe! A perfectly ripe avocado should yield slightly when pressed. If they’re too hard, you’ll be mashing for hours, and if they’re too soft, well, that’s just sad.

Bread Choices: While crusty bread is ideal, you can use any bread you have on hand. Whole grain, sourdough, or even gluten-free options work well—just toast it to your desired level of crispiness.

Storage: If you have leftover avocado mixture, store it in an airtight container with a layer of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to minimize browning. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in the fridge for a day or two.

Creative Toppings: Get adventurous! Try adding a poached egg on top for extra protein, or switch up the garnishes with sliced jalapeños, fresh herbs, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for added flair.
