And this Smashed Mexican Beans on Avocado Toast Recipe is totally BOOMIN! Avocado toast recipes are some of the easiest and healthiest breakfasts around. But this.. this gluten free Mexican smashed beans avocado toast recipe is taking that toast to a whole new level. Am I right? Or is Avocado Toast totally last year? Nah, it will never go out of style, they just need to be fully loaded. Meaning… SPICY, tripled layered, and can be a considered a WHOLE meal . Oh, and vegan, gluten free, yada yada yada.
I’m feeling quite feisty today, can you tell? Ever since I got back from Moab I feel like a whole new person. I feel refreshed! More on that topic later. Back to the beans. You see, I’m also posting this spicy Beans on Avocado Toast recipe because I still have a boat load of one pot Mexican Style Beans.
In fact, this extra boat load has been put to use for meal prep meals!
Hey, when life gives you beans, you make …. BEANS on EVERYTHING.
Exhibit A!
Actually the beans on toast, avocado toast, is totally a Kiwi (my husband) thing. Beans on toast was his staple meal growing up. Baked beans with ketchup on white bread. If you are from New Zealand, England, or Australia, you totally get this. Yup. But I’m still in shock. I feel like this type of childhood “favorite” meal needed a SERIOUS upgrade.
Therefore, I give you the new age 21st century version. You know, allergy friendly and all!
Smashed Mexican Beans on Avocado Toast.
What’s in it? Glad you asked.
We got the gluten free toast and avocado.. obviously.
But then, then we got FULLY LOADED part. The part that bulks up the fiber, protein, healthy fats, nutrients, and flavor pizzaz!
- Mexican Style Pinto Beans
- Tomatillos (you so need to try these if you haven’t yet)
- Cilantro
- Cumin – the new SUPER PUMPED Seed. Pumped as in IRON source. Cumin seeds are naturally rich in iron (source). In fact, just One teaspoon of ground cumin contains 1.4 mg of iron. More plant based iron to NOURISH that body!
- Tomato
- Garlic
- Onion
- Chili Pepper or Red jalapeños (they do exist!). But don’t worry, you can use green ones. No problemo!
- Olive oil to drizzle!
So to make this avocado toast, first you gotta mash those beans with other flavors. I used a food processor so it was better texture.
See…
After you get that perfect mash, you toast your bread, then start the layering process.
Smashed avocado, then mashed Mexican Beans, then the tomatillo, then the tomato, then the cilantro. Then drizzle with a little olive oil or avocado oil. A pinch of extra salt and pepper to season more.

Description
Smashed Mexican Beans Avocado Toast Recipe. A Gluten Free, Vegan Friendly Avocado Toast Recipe loaded with simple, yet spicy, ingredients. Make for a main meal or even a healthy appetizer!
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked pinto beans . I used my Mexican Beans recipe . Or see notes for Organic Canned Beans.
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 red chili pepper or jalapeno,
- ½ tsp Salt and pepper each (divided)
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 tsp smoked paprika or regular paprika
- 6 slices Gluten Free bread
- 1 tsp oil (if toasting bread in oven)
- 1 avocado
- 1 tomatillo – sliced thin
- ⅓ cup cherry tomatoes (small handful cut into quarters)
- Olive Oil to drizzle
- Cilantro
- Any additional spices to sprinkle on top -optional. example chili powder, red pepper flakes, onion powder, or Mexican seasoning, etc.
Instructions
- First Blend together the first 6 ingredients (beans, 2 garlic cloves, chili pepper/jalapeno, ¼ salt/pepper, onion, and paprika. Best to use a blender or food processor. You will want to Pulse in processor until mixture is “smashed” or mashed like. See pictures.
- Once blended, taste to see if needs to more salt/pepper and adjust. Set aside in small bowl or container.
- Toast your bread in a toaster, toaster oven or conventional oven. I found it tasted best in oven on a sheet pan. Just preheat oven to 350F. Add 1 teaspoon oil to each slice, place on sheet pan, then toast for 10 minutes on each side.
- Once you have your bread toasted, remove and layer to make your avocado toast recipe.
- Add 1-2 tablespoon mashed avocado on toast.
- Next spread 2-3 tablespoon of your mashed Mexican bean mix on top..
- Place a few slices of tomatillo on top of each bread along with and cherry tomatoes.
- Cilantro to garnish.
- Additional Mexican seasoning of choice, Salt, cracked pepper, and then drizzle olive oil on top of each avocado toast.
Notes
- There will be extra Smashed Mexican bean spread. Store in air tight container in fridge until you are ready to eat again. It make s a great dip too!
- For breakfast avocado toast, just add an egg on top! For quick beans, you can use Organic Canned Pinto Beans

Just to note: As mentioned in the Mexican Style one pot beans recipe, soaking your beans prior to slow cooking will help you DIGEST them better. Easier digestion will also help INCREASE nutrient absorption. Hence all the fully loaded ingredients in on this toast. You’re gonna get more bang for your buck here folks. So load ‘er up!
This Avocado toast recipe seems delicious. I will try this someday.

You have the best ideas for lunches! This was so good! I used a can of black beans, rinsed, in place of the pinto beans. Running to the store is not an option these quarantine days. And no tomatillos. And I also squeezed some lime juice over it all which really perked everything up. But perfectly delicious. I can’t wait to throw an egg over the leftovers for breakfast! Thank you so much in helping me to eat healthier!
Oh i love that combo. Great idea with the black beans Alene!

Leave it to you to make avocado toast even more fabulous than it already is. I must confess though, I’ve never had avo toast. I know, I know, but let’s keep it on the DL. If everyone finds out, I’ll be ousted from the community. Ha. 🙂
haha well just plain avocado toast is boring to me. So you’re secret is safe with me! mm k?
Ooh this looks SO good! I get a bit bored of plain ol’ avocado toast so this is perfect! ?❤
I feel ya!
Just when I thought avocado toast couldn’t get any better…you add smashed BEANS (my latest addiction)! YUM!
let the addiction continue my friend!
Dear brother, how did you get so damn genius?! I would totally out an egg on this… and some bacon… but you know that already. HA! I need lots of this after the Paris gluttony. Can you please deliver?
i like your style bro! hey, let’s just jet off to italy or NZ and then we can practice gluttony there. 😉
oh gosh. I love healthy, easy recipes like these. beans are so hot right now.
I couldn’t agree more Annie!
You know beans are tough for me, but I love all the other flavors. I wonder how they would be with chickpeas?
Have you tried lentils or pintos soaked first? That’s the best way to digest. And I’m the same way with my colon. Haha you know this! But chickpeas would rock! Go for it
Absolutely love this idea to add more protein to avocado toast! Restaurants need to get on this idea!
Hold up, wait a minute, let us put some beeeeans in it! Yaaaas thank you for that song! I’m still listening to it and jamming out. Definitely a wonderful treat on a Monday morning 😉
I can def get into beans on toast…the Aussies/Brits/Kiwis know where it’s at! I’m happy you’re feeling rejuvenated after your trip..it’s been years since I’ve been to Moab, and now I’m feeling inspired for a re-visit!
how about we take a trip to Moab together?! Blogger retreat!
I LOVE this idea… smashed avocado AND beans! So genius, and such a great way to combine two breakfast traditions! 🙂
right? Gah, i need more. I loved it! We are so taste bud twins Sarah!
Lindsay, my daughter LOVES avocado toast – so I’m gonna have to tell her about your BEANS on EVERYTHING strategy! Smashed beans=epic. my friend! Happy Monday!
I want you to come over with your daughter so we can TOAST all the things!
I’ve totally never had beans on toast, but I think with the right bread, it could be super delish! I want to reach into the screen and grab one of these slices!!!
Totally takes the right bread! which kind do you use?
What a great way to use your leftover pintos. Beans, beans, the versatile fruit!
haha and the most noisy. 😉
I obviously am a bad food blogger / nutritionist cuz avocado toast for breakfast isn’t something I’ve ever tried. It’s so weird to me but you do make it look so good!
Nah, I’d say youre the best! Just more inventive! haha. you don’t need toast. 😉
