Smashed Chickpea & Avocado Kale Sandwich

Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Place on a paper towel and pat dry. You can remove the outer skins or leave them on, whichever you prefer.

Place the onion on a small cutting board and chop into tiny pieces. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, using a fork or potato masher, mash the chickpeas until they form a paste-like texture. Add in the avocado and smash together. Add in basil, garlic powder, chopped onion, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Spread mixture evenly onto 2 slices of bread and top with fresh kale leaves. Top each with remaining bread slice. Serve immediately.
