Our family really likes this open face warm sandwich from the Lion House Entertaining Cookbook! We’ve made it with sun-dried tomato turkey from the deli and of course, we used the pepper jack cheese to add some spice. Enjoy!
8 sandwich rolls, split open,
OR 1 loaf French bread sliced
½ cup olives, chopped
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup green onions, chopped
¾ to 1 pound cooked turkey, thinly sliced
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
2 ripe avocados, sliced
¾ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
¾ cup pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
In a bowl, combine olives, chili powder, cumin and salt; set aside 2 tablespoons of this mixture. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, and green onions to the remaining olive mixture.
Place bread on an ungreased baking sheet and spread 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise mixture on each slice or roll. Top with slices of turkey and tomatoes. Spread with another tablespoon of the mayonnaise mixture. Top with sliced avocados and cheeses. Sprinkle with the reserved 2 tablespoons of olive mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until heated through. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
We made this last year and LOVED it! It really has great tex-mex flavor and is so filling and delicious! If you haven't tried this recipe yet, you've got to make it for your family. It will be such a treat!
ReplyDeleteWe fed this to the missionaries on Friday night and they liked it. They even requested the recipe! I now have a missionary dinner menu that I can just repeat: South-of-the-Border Sandwiches, Roasted Parmesan Potatoes, Fruit Salad, Lettuce Salad and Brownies or Fudge Nut Bars with vanilla ice cream.
ReplyDeleteJust made this again today, with these changes:
ReplyDelete1. used southwest chipotle seasoning instead of cumin and chili powder, and sprinkled additional chipotle seasoning on top of the sandwiches (shouldn't have added salt with this seasoning).
2. added chopped cilantro to the olives... delicious!
3. used sliced provolone cheese... a nice smokey addition to the flavor!
