This is a delicious twist on the classic Caprese.  The avocado adds a creamy counterpoint to the acid in the tomatoes, while the Casero cheese adds a salty tang.

Ingredients

  • 2 Heirloom tomatoes sliced ¼ inch thick
  • 2 avocados peeled, seeded, and cut ½ thick lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon whole cilantro leaves
  • 2 tablespoons Casero cheese crumbled

Preparation

Simply layer the tomatoes and avocados on top of each other and repeat until they are gone.  Garnish with the Casero crumbles and cilantro leaves.

Glossary:
