This vibrant and creamy sandwich features smashed chickpeas, avocado, and jalapeño—perfect for a quick, flavorful, plant-based lunch.

Ingredients

4 slices bread of choice

½ cup chickpeas, drained, rinsed & skins removed (optional)

1 avocado, skin & pit removed

¼ cup red onion, finely diced

2 tablespoons jalapeño, finely diced

2 teaspoons vegan mayo (optional)

12 teaspoons yellow mustard, to taste

Pinch of garlic salt

Black pepper, to taste

Hot sauce, to taste (optional)

Spinach, lettuce, or arugula (optional for layering)

Instructions

Toast Bread:

Lightly toast all 4 slices of bread and set aside.

Make the Filling:

In a bowl, combine the chickpeas and avocado.

Mash with a fork until your desired texture is reached (chunky or smooth).

Stir in red onion, jalapeño, vegan mayo (if using), mustard, garlic salt, black pepper, and hot sauce.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Assemble the Sandwiches:

Divide the chickpea mixture between 2 slices of bread.

Top with fresh greens (if using).

Place the remaining bread slices on top to complete each sandwich.

Serve:

Slice and serve immediately. Great with chips, pickles, or a simple side salad.

Notes

Chickpea Skins: Removing skins is optional, but helps create a creamier texture. To do this easily, roll rinsed chickpeas between paper towels to loosen skins.

Vegan Mayo Tip: Avocado already provides creaminess, but a little mayo adds tang and moisture.

Spice It Up: Jalapeño and hot sauce give this sandwich a zesty kick — adjust to your preference.

Meal Prep Friendly: The filling can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
