Chipotle Avocado BLTs


Sometimes you just want something simple for dinner.   Last week was one of those times.  I decided to make BLTs and spice it up a bit. The result was amazing and Mr. C has been asking me when we’re making them again.  You barely even need a recipe for this one, but here it is anyhow and you can access the printable here.  Sorry for the photography…I was having some serious camera issues.

Ingredients
Bread
Romaine Lettuce, washed and dried
Large tomato, sliced
Avocado, sliced
Applewood smoked bacon
Mayo
Chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce




Cook the bacon to your liking.  We like ours crispy round here and we ended up using 3 pieces per sandwich.  It also fits better if you cut the bacon in half.
While you’re toasting the bread, mince 1-2 of the chipotle peppers and mix with ¼ c. mayo.  I cut our peppers into fairly large pieces but they have a bit of a kick.  You may want to add the peppers a little at a time and taste for flavor.  I also mixed some of the sauce in with the mayo mixture.  This was plenty for 2 sandwiches but you can adjust as needed.  
Generously spread on the mayo mixture and start layering – bacon, lettuce, tomato, and top with avocado.  You could be really crazy and add some cheese too.  

I firmly believe that sandwiches taste better when they are cut diagonally in half, so I suggest doing this as well!



We ate ours with a veggie-packed salad and some kettle chips.  So good!
