Step 1: Gather all ingredients for the avocado mousse. In making the mouse you may use a food processor for smooth and well combined avocado mousse.

Step 3: Wash and dry the edamame beans. Process the edamame beans and avocado flesh together until become chunky.

Step 4: Add the remaining ingredients (Lime juice, corn oil, and salt) and process all together until smooth and combined. Remove and transfer in a pipping bag.

Step 5: Wash and cut the cherry tomatoes into 6 equal sizes then place in a clean bowl. Add sugar and salt then let it marinate until sugar and salt dissolve. Once the sugar and salt dissolve add the rest of the ingredients; Sherry vinegar and olive oil then mix until cherry tomatoes are coated.

Step 6: In a bowl, pipe the avocado mousse. Place the halved avocado on top of the mousse. Garnish the avocado with sauteed white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, and tortilla powder (blend a corn tortilla chip). Fill the avocado hole with marinated cherry tomatoes. Garnish with a Sakura mix or chili.

Step 7: Serve with corn tortilla chips and enjoy!
