Ingredients

• Almond flour - 1 cup
• Egg - 1 large
• Baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Shredded cheese (Paleo-friendly) - 1 cup
• Tomatoes - 2 medium, diced
• Red onion - 1/4 cup, finely chopped
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon

• Jalapeño - 1 small, diced (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, egg, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms.
3. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a flat oval or rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Place the shaped dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden.
5. While the dough is baking, prepare the salsa by mixing diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, and jalapeño in a bowl. Set aside.
6. Remove the baked dough from the oven and evenly distribute the shredded cheese on top of each piece.
7. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove from the oven and top each mollete with sliced avocado and the fresh salsa before serving.
