Steps to Create Your Spicy Smashed Avocado Hash Brown Toasts

3. To the avocado, add lime juice, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Mash with a fork until creamy yet chunky.
4. Stir in chopped cilantro and diced tomato, if using, to add freshness and a pop of color.
5. Once the hash browns are ready, top each with a generous spoonful of the smashed avocado mixture.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro or a sprinkle of chili flakes for an extra kick.
