Ingredients

• 1 tsp. olive oil
• 1 large shallot (finely diced)
• 1 cup no salt added black beans (drained and rinsed)
• 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
• 1 tsp. smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano leaves
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 small avocado
• 1/16 tsp. salt
• ground black pepper to taste
• 1/4 lemon (juiced)
• 2 slices whole grain or gluten free bread

Place a small skillet over medium.

When the pan is hot add the oil to the pan and swirl to coat. 

Add the shallots and cook for about 2 minutes. 

Adjust the heat so that the shallots brown but do not burn. 

Add the black beans, cumin, paprika, oregano and water. 

Simmer until all of the water has evaporated. 

Set aside. 

While the beans are cooking mash the avocado in a small bowl. 

Add the salt, pepper and lemon juice and fold together. 

Toast the bread and then spread the avocado mixture on top. 

Top with the beans. 

Serve.
