Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces whole-grain sandwich rolls
- 8 slices cooked chicken breast or deli turkey
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 cup fresh salsa
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 medium avocado
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the whole-grain sandwich rolls horizontally and lightly toast them in a toaster or on a stovetop pan for about 2 minutes until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until creamy. Stir in lime juice, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to make the avocado spread.
Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted sandwich roll.
Spread an equal amount of the avocado mixture on the top half of each sandwich roll.
Layer the bottom half of each roll with 1 slice of cheddar cheese, followed by 2 slices of cooked chicken breast or deli turkey on top.
Top the meat layer with 1/4 cup of fresh salsa and a generous handful of baby spinach leaves.
Place the avocado-spread-covered top half of the sandwich roll onto the assembled ingredients.
Serve immediately while the bread is still crisp, or wrap tightly in parchment paper for a great on-the-go meal.
