V.B.A.L.T.

Behold the ultimate slab of a sandwich - the V.B.A.L.T. - AKA the Vegan Bacon Avocado Lettuce & Tomato. Few can ignore the tempting delicious simplicity of an avocado-toast, especially when prepared with a hearty slice of seeded sourdough bread that has been toasted to golden perfection. This is less of a recipe post and more of a reminder to plan ahead and buy your avocados a few days before prepping these loaded toasts. Have your favorite ingredients on hand - fresh bread, heirloom tomatoes, baby romaine lettuce, microgreens, vegan bacon, etc.

Here I experimented by making crispy mushroom bacon with tamari, maple syrup, tahini, and my absolute favorite @Deliciou bacon seasoning. Mushrooms recently landed on the NY Times list, "What will Americans eat in 2022" For some excellent Tucson options, try out mushrooms @desertpearlmushrooms and the best sourdough bread @barriobread, as well as any of the seasonal markets.
