Pressed Black Bean and Avocado Sandwich

Ingredients:
Black beans (1 can)
Avocado (1)
Tomato (1 med)
Cheese (gouda/swiss-sliced)
Roasted Onions (1/2)
Roasted Bell peppers (1 red & yellow)
Mayo/Mustard (equal parts of each)
Whole grain bread

Directions:
First you will need to roast your bell peppers and onion. You can buy roasted peppers from a can however if you already have to roast your onion might as well have freshly roasted bell peppers too!

To roast bell peppers/onion-please see vanashing veggies recipe! Follow directions from recipe using only peppers and onions (no broccoli).

To make sauce: All you need is equal parts mayo to mustard and mix. How much of each depends on how many sandwiches you plan on making at one time.

Slice the tomato into sandwich slices and mash the avocado so that its easy to spread onto the sandwich.

Place all the ingredients (avocado, roasted peppers & onion, cheese, tomato, sauce, black beans) on toast in any order that you desire. Place toast in a sandwich presser and cook until cheese melts and the bread has a nice brown color. (If you don`t have a sandwich presser then squish the sandwich nice and tight so that nothing will fall out and place in a toaster oven until cheese has melted and bread is evenly brown).

Enjoy!

Note: If the cheese doesn`t melt completely after the toaster oven you can zap it in the microwave for 20-30seconds. This recipe makes several sandwiches (maybe 3-4) but you can always preserve the ingredients and eat again for another meal!
