Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 2 pieces Chicken Breast tender and lean; grill or pan-sear for extra smoky flavor
  • 4 pieces Bolillo Rolls soft and crusty; consider using ciabatta if unavailable
  • 1 piece Avocado mash or slice for creamy texture
  • 2 pieces Tomatoes juicy and flavorful; use vine-ripened for best taste
  • 1 piece Red Onion adds crunch; soak in water to mellow sharpness
  • 2 cups Lettuce shredded iceberg or romaine works beautifully
  • 1/4 cup Pickled Jalapeños for a spicy kick; adjust based on heat preference
For the Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise can mix in lime juice for brightness
  • 1 teaspoon Chipotle Powder adds smokiness; use smoked paprika as alternative
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro substitute parsley if not a fan
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice fresh is always best!

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Season chicken breast with salt, pepper, and chipotle powder. Heat a skillet and cook chicken for 6-7 minutes each side until golden brown. Set aside to rest before slicing.
  2. Slice bolillo rolls in half and lightly toast each side in the skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Prepare fresh toppings by dicing tomatoes, thinly slicing red onion, and mashing or slicing avocado.
  4. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro, and chipotle powder. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Spread sauce on insides of toasted bolillo rolls, then layer sliced chicken, diced tomatoes, red onions, avocado, pickled jalapeños, and lettuce.
  6. Slice sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
