Avocado Sandwich with Roasted Pepper and Tofu

This sandwich makes for a lovely treat to provide you with the perfect post-fitness meal. Spread some tangy avocado salsa on this bread, balance out with the sweetness of charred bell pepper and finally give it a complete food identity by topping some pan seared tofu. If you miss the crisp add some greens. Personally, I like to cook longer to get the crispy taste to add to the texture
