Directions
Layer creamy, spiced black beans on crisp cassava toast, add a bright mango salsa, creamy avocado, açaí drizzle, and crunchy seeds for a perfect balance of flavors and textures inspired by Brazil. For a more traditional touch, use Brazilian tapioca flatbread instead of cassava bread if available. Adjust spice and sweetness to taste.
