This mashed avocado chickpea sandwich is packed with protein and flavor thanks to the chickpeas, spices, and toppings used. The delicious mixture is smashed between two pieces of bread for the perfect easy lunch option.

I used some homemade bread for my sandwich, but you can use whichever kind of bread you have on hand or prefer. Of course, I also had to serve my sandwich up with a pickle on the side. Now, let's dive right into this recipe!
