Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 jalapeños, sliced (fresh or pickled)
- 2 ripe avocados
- 4 bolillo rolls
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1/4 cup sour cream or mayonnaise
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the chicken: Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare veggies: While chicken cooks, slice jalapeños thinly. Chop lettuce and cilantro. Mash avocados with lime juice, salt, and pepper until creamy.
- Assemble sandwiches: Slice bolillo rolls down the middle without cutting all the way through. Spread sour cream or mayo inside each roll before layering with sliced chicken.
- Add toppings: Top with avocado spread, lettuce, jalapeños, and cilantro. Close the rolls securely.
- Serve immediately while warm.
