Toast Topping - Guacamole and Cream Cheese with Spices

When is an adaptation not an adaptation?

I give full credit to Tostas' author, Cornelia Schinharl, for the idea for this toast topping. But, where she uses fresh produce and herbs, I used pre-prepared items and, different and similar bottled or dry spices in different quantities.

Also, I don't have an oven. All I have is a microwave and a hot plate.

Maybe one day, when I think I have the time and the fresh ingredients, I will try the recipe her way. It sounds delicious.

I have bought food items because of a recipe I wanted to try but I never seem to get to those recipes before other recipes catch my eye. So, like the jar of dry cilantro, I have several items I have not used. So, I was very happy to find a recipe where I could use the cilantro.
