Main Ingredients
- 2 sesame bagels
- 100g cooked chicken, shredded

Instructions
- Prepare the Avocado Spread: Lightly mash the ripe avocado in a bowl, then mix in ¾ tsp of olive oil, the juice of half a lime, and the finely chopped cherry tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set the mixture aside.
- Toast the Bagels: Slice the bagels in half horizontally, then toast them until they are lightly golden and crisp to your preference.
