Description

A delicious and flavorful sandwich made with marinated chicken and fresh toppings, perfect for a satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 telera rolls or bolillo rolls
  • 450 g boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo or preferred marinade
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, for cooking
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 120 g refried beans
  • 50 g shredded lettuce
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 30 g onion, thinly sliced
  • 60 ml pickled jalapeños
  • 30 g queso fresco or mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or crema

Instructions

  1. Combine chicken, chipotle in adobo, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil in a bowl. Toss well to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to infuse.
  2. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken for 5–6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C. Transfer to a cutting board, allow to rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
  3. Slice telera or bolillo rolls in half and toast cut-side down in a skillet or toaster until edges are golden and lightly crisp.
  4. Spread refried beans onto the bottom half of each roll and mayonnaise or crema over the top half.
  5. Arrange sliced chicken, avocado, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickled jalapeños over the beans. Place the top half of each roll over the fillings.
  6. Serve sandwiches immediately while warm, accompanied by chips, fries, or a simple green salad if desired.
