Black Bean Sandwich

Mmmmm. Just mmmmmmmmm. Yes, that's it - the sound you make, when you take a bite of this sandwich. It is SO good. It has a slight kick, but it is instantly dulled by the coolness of the avocado and acid of the tomato. So, it's BAM, WHAM, and OH so good. 



Ingredients:

1 (14.5 oz) can of black beans
1/2 cup of olive oil
2 limes, halved
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt 'n Pepper to Taste
Avocados. sliced
Tomatoes, sliced
(....or any greens you prefer on sandwiches)
Ciabatta (or any crusty bread you'd prefer)

Ingredients: 


1.)  In a food processor,  add the beans, olive oil, spices, and squeeze the lime halves to get the juices.  Put the top on, and pulse until desired texture. I prefer to have my black beans finely minced, instead of chunks, but tis your preference in this recipe! 

2.) Next, pour the mixture into a small saucepan to warm up. While you are doing that, take your bread, and slice it, and half it.  Warm a skillet, and drop the halves, face down, onto it. Just for a lil browning on the surface, but don't go burnt! Unless, of course, that is a flavor you like.......?

3.) When warmed, both sauce and bread, pull off heat.  On a plate, spoon sauce over the bottom half of the bread slices. Drizzling and dripping is okay - means you can dip! Anyhow, top with avocado and tomato, and crown with the top half of the bread slices! 

Enjoy! I know I did. This is one of my favorite recipes. Period. Ever.
