Mexican Chicken Sub
It’s July or August and it’s hot outside 🥵 – no complaints, I love it! – but if you are like me, we don’t always feel like cooking a big meal, let alone eating one. Sometimes, I just want to have something quick & easy to prepare. I want a meal that satisfies me and is full of flavor like a sandwich! What about a Mexican Chicken Sub?
I love Mexican culture and its cuisine. The ingredients are simple but yet so colorful and tasty 😋. For some of you, Mexican food may be too spicy and for others, each bite is heavenly. I enjoy the spiciness and I love experimenting with a variety of ingredients.
In this video, I’ve incorporated a couple of Mexican ingredients that set this dish apart from a regular submarine with a slight twist. It’s a fast and easy meal that everyone will enjoy because the combination of ingredients marry together perfectly. This dish is not hot at all so there is no reason not to try this tasty recipe. Is it the chipotle mayo or the guacamole 🥑 that makes it Mexican? That is for you to decide…
In this flavorful sandwich recipe, I also add some bacon 🥓. C’mon, everything tastes better with bacon! I use this method to cook the bacon because there’s no mess! That’s right! To find out more about it, click on this link… Oven Baked Bacon • Best Way to Cook Bacon
It’s a simple meal and yet very flavorful! This is the perfect little sandwich for those hot summer days when we don’t want to spend a whole lot of time in the kitchen preparing a meal. I think sandwiches 🥪 are underrated and should not be served strictly for lunch. This Mexican Chicken Sub is one of our favorites that we like to enjoy for lunch or dinner and I’m sure you’ll agree after trying it!
