Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by preparing the bread. Toast the slices of whole wheat bread in a toaster until they are golden brown and crisp. The crunch will be a delightful contrast to the creamy toppings, providing a sturdy base for the avocado mash.
2. 2.
   While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lime juice to the mashed avocado and mix well to prevent browning while enhancing the flavor. The lime juice will also add a refreshing citrus note that balances the richness of the avocado.
3. 3.
   Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices, ensuring you cover all edges for a full-bodied experience in every bite. This layer is crucial as it acts like a velvety blanket under the other ingredients, softly embracing them as they meld together.
4. 4.
   Top the avocado with halved cherry tomatoes, distributing them evenly. The tomatoes should pop when bitten into, releasing their sweet juices and adding a burst of color and freshness to the dish. If the tomatoes seem a bit too sour, consider adding a pinch of salt to enhance their natural sweetness.
5. 5.
   Finish with a sprinkling of crumbled cotija cheese. It offers a salty, crumbly texture that perfectly complements the creamy avocado and juicy tomatoes. For an extra touch, you may lightly drizzle some olive oil or add a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper before serving.
