Description
Combining creamy avocado and tender chickpeas creates a rich base with a satisfying texture for this sandwich.

Ground cumin and cayenne enhance the depth and warmth, while black pepper and salt season the mix.
Finished with greens and optional tomatoes or sprouts on bread, the sandwich offers a balance of creamy, spicy, and crisp freshness. It can also be adapted for tacos, wraps, or as a salad topping by changing spices or add-ins.
