Ingredients
Let’s gather everything you need to create this delightful dish. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 frozen hash brown patties
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
- Optional: crumbled feta cheese for topping
You can easily swap the cayenne for a milder spice if you’re serving kids or prefer less heat. And if cilantro isn’t your thing, parsley is a great alternative.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to bring this dish to life:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the frozen hash brown patties on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- While the hash browns are baking, cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- Add the lime juice, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the avocado. Use a fork to smash everything together until you reach your desired consistency. I like it a bit chunky, just like my abuela used to make her guacamole.
- Once the hash browns are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Spread a generous amount of the spiced avocado mixture over each hash brown.
- Top with halved cherry tomatoes, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and if desired, some crumbled feta cheese.
- Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for that final touch of richness.
And there you have it, a dish that’s as visually appealing as it is tasty, and ready in under 30 minutes.
