Instructions
1. Prepare the spicy salsa: Dice the tomatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion into fine pieces. Finely mince the jalapeño pepper and fresh cilantro.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture.
3. Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to combine all ingredients for the salsa. Set aside.
4. Slice the avocados in half, remove the seeds, and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth and creamy.
5. Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado onto four slices of bread.
6. Top the avocado layer with the spicy salsa prepared earlier. If desired, sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese for added flavor.
7. Cover each loaded slice with a second piece of bread to form a sandwich.
8. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread a thin layer of butter on the outer sides of each sandwich.
9. Place the sandwiches onto the heated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crisp.
10. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, allow them to cool for a minute, and slice them in half if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your Spicy Salsa Sandwiches!
