Method
Avocado Filling
- 1
Prepare and combine avocado
Halve, pit and scoop the flesh of the ripe avocados into a medium bowl. Immediately add the lime juice and mash with a fork until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky (aim for a spreadable texture).

Fold in aromatics
Add the finely chopped red onion, diced tomato, chopped cilantro, salt, black pepper, and optional minced jalapeño to the mashed avocado. Gently fold until evenly combined. Taste and adjust salt or lime as needed. Keep covered and refrigerate up to 30 minutes if making slightly ahead.
Bases & Crunch
- 3
Prepare bases
If using baguette slices, arrange slices on a baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil on both sides, and toast in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. If using store-bought crackers, skip to next step.

Season bases
Allow toasted slices to cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of flaky sea salt on each warm slice for extra flavor.
Assembly & Garnish
- 5
Assemble avocado bites
Using a small spoon, place about 1 heaping teaspoon (≈ 15 g) of the avocado mixture onto each toasted slice or cracker. Smooth the top gently with the back of the spoon to form a neat mound.

Serve
Arrange bites on a platter and serve immediately. These are best enjoyed within 30 minutes of assembly to avoid browning of the avocado. Leftover avocado mixture can be stored in an airtight container with plastic pressed onto its surface for up to 24 hours.
