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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted sandwich roll.

Step 4

Spread an equal amount of the avocado mixture on the top half of each sandwich roll.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Top the meat layer with 1/4 cup of fresh salsa and a generous handful of baby spinach leaves.

Step 7

Place the avocado-spread-covered top half of the sandwich roll onto the assembled ingredients.

Step 8

Serve immediately while the bread is still crisp, or wrap tightly in parchment paper for a great on-the-go meal.
