Avocado Panini Melts With Hot Pepper Salsa:

These paninis are so good! I could live off of them, and the avocado makes them so filling. You can also add chickpeas to them for some protein. I used the Smokey Cheddar Block Cheese that I made the other day. I've been melting it on everything. These are also really easy to make, and if you don't feel like running to the store to pick up pitas, you can just use bread and make these like you would grilled cheese. Anyways, I hope you like this as much as I do! ❤❤❤

AVOCADO PANINI MELTS:

Ingredients:

2 whole wheat pitas
1 avocado, divided in half
1 medium tomato, diced
1/2 cup red onion, sliced
1 cup vegan cheese (you can use Smokey Cheddar Block Cheese, Daiya Cheese, or Cashew Cheese)

Serves 2.
Total Cook Time: 20 minutes.

Instructions:

1. Lay the pitas out flat on two plates. Spread the avocado over one half of the pita, and top with the tomatoes, onion, and the salsa. Add the vegan cheese to the other half, and then fold the pitas in half.

2. You can now either: 1) Grill the pitas in a Geoge Foreman Grill or Panini Grill, or 2) You can make them in a pan like you would make grilled cheese. For the grill: grill on medium or high heat until the cheese is melted and the pitas are golden brown, about seven minutes. For the pan: cook on medium-high heat until the cheese is melted and the pitas are golden-brown, about 7 minutes (You may want to cover the pan while cooking. It should help the cheese melt).

3. Let cool for a few minutes, cut the paninis in half, and enjoy. ❤
