Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

1

Cook the Bacon

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip halfway through cooking for even crispiness. Once done, place the bacon on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

2

Prepare the Vegetables

Wash the lettuce thoroughly and pat dry. Slice the tomato and avocado into even slices. Set aside.

3

Make the Chipotle Mayo

In a small bowl, mix the chipotle mayo with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the heat by adding more chipotle sauce if desired.

4

Toast the Bread

Toast the slices of bread until golden brown. This can be done in a toaster or on a skillet.

Assembly

5

Layer the Ingredients

On one slice of toasted bread, spread 1 tablespoon of chipotle mayo. Layer with crispy bacon, a generous amount of lettuce, sliced tomato, and avocado. Top with a portion of pico de gallo.

6

Finish the Sandwich

Spread another tablespoon of chipotle mayo on a second slice of bread and place it on top of the sandwich, mayo side down. Press gently to secure the layers.

7

Cut and Serve

Cut the sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately, with any remaining pico de gallo on the side.
