Ingredients

- 2-3 tbsp Cilantro chopped
- 1 tbsp Lime juice fresh
- 1 Jalapeño finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic finely chopped
- 1 medium Red onion divided
- 1 medium Tomato diced
- 1/2 medium Yellow bell pepper lengthwise sliced
- 1/2 medium Red bell pepper lengthwise sliced
- Iceberg lettuce few, optional
- 1/4 tsp Chili flakes
- 3/4 tsp Salt divided
- 1 tsp Olive oil
- 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 4 Artisan roll *see notes
Instructions
Sautéing The Veggies
- Slice the ¾ onion and bell peppers lengthwise.
- In a pan, add 1 tsp oil, onions, and roast them over medium heat until they turn translucent.
- Now, add bell peppers and sauté everything together for about 3-4 minutes or until you see brown spots on them.
- Remove it from the heat, add ⅛ tsp salt, and chili flakes. Mix well and set aside.
Avocado Spread
- Wash the avocados, peel them, and take out their pulps into a large bowl. Mash the pulps using a fork or with your fingers.
- Add ¼ diced onion, tomato, jalapeño, cilantro, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and mix it well. Combine cheese in the mixture and set aside.
Assemble Sandwich
- Warm up the bread in the oven or over the skillet. You can skip this step if you wish.
- Spread the avocado mix on both sides of the artisan bread. Start layering the bottom slice with iceberg lettuce and next, add sautéed veggies.
- Top off with the remaining half side of the bread, cut it in the middle, and serve.
Notes
- Prepare the sautéed veggies and store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 4 days.
- You can add Serrano peppers for more spicy flavor in the sandwiches.
- Spread some hummus on both sides of the bread to add some plant based protein.
- Use some different kind of bread like sourdough, multigrain bread, or wheat and oat buns. I like to use something thick and grainy to hold up the avocado spread and veggies.
- You can enjoy the sandwich as an open faced sandwich on whole wheat french bread as well.
