Ingredients

3 large tomatoes - ripeseeded and finely diced -about 2 cups
1 tablespoon olive oil - for brushing
2 tablespoon cilantro - fresh finely chopped
3 tablespoon red onion - finely diced
1 cloves garlic - minced
1 small jalapeno - seeded and minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 small lime
1 baguette - ends removed and sliced into 10 pieces
½ cup mozzarella cheese - shredded
for garnish avocado

Instructions

In a large bowl, toss together the tomatoes, olive oil, cilantro, onion, garlic, jalapeño and salt until well mixed.
Squeeze the lime over the top, and gently toss again to coat. Allow the tomatoes to sit while you prepare the bread.
Heat your broiler, and brush each slice of baguette with olive oil. Broil about 2" away from broiler for about 1 minute, or until browned, then turn over and brown the other side.
Sprinkle the olive oil side with a little of the mozzarella, then return to broiler to just melt the cheese, then remove from oven.
Generously heap onto the toasted baguette pieces and garnish with a slice of avocado.
