Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by selecting your bolillo or crusty roll and placing it on a clean cutting board. Cut the bread in half lengthwise to create a sandwich base. If you prefer a crispy texture, lightly toast each half in a skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Take your cooked chicken, preferably leftover rotisserie, and shred or slice it into bite-sized pieces. Evenly distribute the chicken over the bottom half of the toasted bread.
- Place crisp lettuce leaves over the chicken, followed by slices of juicy tomatoes. Ensure every bite has a mix of delicious flavors.
- Spread a generous layer of mayo on the top half of the sandwich, mixing in a splash of lime juice for added zing.
- Slice a ripe avocado and layer it on top of the vegetables, followed by a few pickled jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Sprinkle some crumbled Cotija or Queso Fresco cheese on top, and optionally add fresh cilantro.
- Carefully place the top half of the bread over the toppings, pressing down gently to combine. Slice the sandwich in half for ease of serving.
