Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 2

Toss the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and puffed rice with the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and kosher salt in a bowl. Add the oil and toss to coat. Place on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake until toasted, about 10 minutes. Toss with the lime zest and set aside.

Step 3

Cut the avocados in half and peel. Place the flat side of each avocado on a cutting board and slice at an angle. Plate half an avocado on each plate and top with some of the Pickled Onions and toasted seed mixture. Finish with a drizzle of good-quality olive oil, a sprinkle of cotija and a pinch of flaky salt. Serve with a lime wedge.

Step 4

Combine the apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt and 1/4 cup water in a small pot. Heat, stirring, until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Pour the mixture over the red onions in a medium bowl and let sit for about 10 minutes.
