In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Add a squeeze of lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined and smooth.
Heat the black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until warmed through. Alternatively, microwave the beans for 1 minute.
Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture on each toasted bagel half.
Top the avocado spread with a spoonful of black beans, spreading them evenly.
Sprinkle shredded Mexican-style cheese on top of the beans, ensuring an even layer on each bagel half.
Place the bagels under a broiler or in a toaster oven for 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to ensure they donβt burn.
Remove the bagels from the broiler and top each with a dollop of salsa.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and an additional squeeze of lime juice if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mexican Bagel!
