Ingredients

  • 2 slices sourdough bread or gluten-free bread if required
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle mayonnaise
  • 1 leaf green leaf lettuce
  • 3 large tomato slices
  • 2 slices thick cut bacon cooked
  • ¼ avocado sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the bacon ahead of time for quick assembly. I like to bake it in the oven for easy clean up. Cover a large baking sheet with tin foil, then a layer of parchment paper. Lie the bacon slices on top. Cook at 400ºF for 20-25 minutes until crispy. Place the slices on a paper towel lined plate to drain the excess grease. Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to 4 days and re-heat in the microwave when making a sandwich. Allow the grease to solidify on the baking sheet, then throw away the parchment and foil for easy clean up.
  • Slice two pieces of sourdough bread and toast until lightly golden. Spread with spicy mayonnaise.
  • Layer the sandwich with a piece of lettuce, then tomato slices. Season the tomato slices with salt and pepper. Add the bacon, and place avocado slices on top.
  • Close the sandwich with the top piece of bread, slice in half with a serrated knife, and enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Bread: Sourdough with a little crunch is best for this sandwich, but really any bread can be used, even gluten-free bread.
  • If you don't eat bacon, you could use any deli meat in its place.
  • Make your own spicy mayo by stirring together 1 tablespoon mayo and 1 teaspoon hot sauce. Adjust to your taste preferences.
  • Make the bacon ahead of time for easy prep throughout the week.
  • Prepared sandwiches can be wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in the fridge for 12 hours. Note that it will not be as crispy, but still delicious.
