• 0.5 small Red onion
• 2 slices Pepper Jack cheese

Directions

Step 1

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

Step 5

Cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Set aside and let rest.

While the chicken rests, slice the avocado and mash it in a small bowl with lime juice and a pinch of salt to make a simple guacamole.

Step 7

Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rings.

Step 8

Preheat the broiler and lightly butter the cut sides of the sandwich rolls. Toast them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 9

Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted roll.

Step 10

Assemble the sandwich by layering guacamole, a cooked chicken breast, a slice of Pepper Jack cheese, tomato slices, red onion rings, pickled jalapeños, and fresh cilantro.

Step 11

Top with the other half of each sandwich roll and serve immediately with your favorite side dish.
