Tex-Mex Baguette

For a "family dinner" this past Sunday, we had a Mexican themed dinner. Jen made carne asade pork tacos, lime quinoa and black bean salad, and a roasted corn and black bean salad. I made these (as I am dubbing them) Tex-Mex Baguettes and a Tres Leches Cake (recipe for the cake to follow). The baguette was very easy to make and took little time.

Either a soft baguette or I used a long thin loaf of French Bread (thanks Publix)
Pico de gallo (either store bought or I made my own, cut up 3 tomatoes, half and onion, cilantro, garlic powder, S&P)
Queso dip
Guacamole ( I used store bought since I hate cutting/scraping avocados)
can of re-fried beans

Preheat oven to 325F. Slice bread diagonally just less than an inch thick. Place bread slices on baking sheet and drizzle a little olive oil across the bread and place in open for about 5-7min or until just toasted. Next, spread the re-fried beans down on the bread (acts as a glue) and then put the Pico on that. Next (if you buy the Wholly Guacamole it comes in a small bag, cut the corner off) and squirt some guacamole across that and finally top it off with a dollop of queso. Put in over for 5-7 minutes until queso is melted nicely. Serve.
