Grilled Panela Cheese Toast with Guacamole

Ingredients

• 2 rebanadas Whole-wheat bread
• 100 g Panela cheese (Cut into slices or a piece that can be browned; it can be seasoned with pepper and crushed chili.)
• 100 g Avocado (Mashed flesh for the guacamole.)
• 50 g Tomato (Finely chopped.)
• 20 g Onion (Finely chopped.)
• 5 g Cilantro (Chopped.)
• 10 g Jalapeño or serrano chili (Chopped; use to taste.)
• 0.5 limón chico Lime juice (Approximately 1 tsp of juice, or to taste.)
• Oil (A few drops for heating and browning the cheese; approximately 2 g.)
• Black pepper (To taste; optional for seasoning the cheese and guacamole.)
• Crushed chili (To taste, optional for seasoning the cheese.)
• Salt (To taste for the guacamole.)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the guacamole: place the avocado flesh in a bowl and mash it with a fork, leaving it as smooth or chunky as you prefer.

2. 2

   Add the chopped tomato, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño or serrano chili to the avocado.

3. 3

   Add the juice of half a small lime, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix until combined and taste to adjust the seasoning.

4. 4

   Season the panela cheese with pepper and crushed chili if you want a more intense flavor.

5. 5

   Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a few drops of oil. Once the skillet is hot, place the panela cheese in it without overlapping the pieces.

6. 6

   Cook the cheese without moving it for 2 to 3 minutes, until the surface in contact with the skillet forms a golden crust.

7. 7

   Turn the cheese over with a spatula and cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes, again without moving it, until golden.

8. 8

   Alternatively, cook the cheese in an air fryer at 350 °F (175 °C) for 3 to 5 minutes, watching it until lightly browned.

9. 9

   Place the whole-wheat bread slices on a plate. Spread the guacamole over the bread and top with the grilled panela cheese. Serve immediately.
