White Bean Avocado Mash (Vegan)

I was feeling a bit inspired the other day.  I came up with this recipe and I enjoyed it in a variety of ways.

WHITE BEAN AND AVOCADO MASH

1 can (15.5 ounce) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

1 ripe avocado

zest of 1/2 a lime

3/4 teaspoon salt

About 2 tablespoons of fresh, chopped cilantro

1 to 2 tablespoons of water

A few pinches of cruised red pepper flakes or a little hot sauce (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy and well combined.  It may be necessary to add in a tablespoon or two of water to help the ingredients blend well in the food processor.  You can enjoy this recipe in a variety of ways as you see in the photos here.
