Lunch in a Box: Smashed Chickpea and Avocado Spread

I've seen this combination in a variety of ways, and wanted to make it my own for an easy lunch spread. I was worried about the avocado keeping, but had no problems with it turning brown. This is super easy to throw together, and makes enough for four sandwiches or salads (put a big scoop on top of some spinach for an even healthier lunch!)

Helpful hint for storing: Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the spread, and then seal the container. This will help the spread keep for several days.
