Tex-Mex Club Sandwich

Submitted by Sandy in Oklahoma

"My family loves spicy food and these have a bit of a kick. You can tone it down a bit by leaving out the jalapeno and exchanging some other cheese for the Pepper Jack."

1. Sandwich Spread:

3. Building Sandwiches:

4. Very lightly toast the 8 slices of bread. Spread the sandwich spread mixture on one side of each toasted slice. On 4 slices of prepared bread layer the turkey, ham, jack cheese, Colby cheese, tomato slices, avocado slices and black olives. Top with remaining 4 slices of prepared bread.
5. Using a sharp serrated bread knife, cut each sandwich on diagonal from corner to corner. Make 2nd cut on opposite corner, making 4 sandwich segments. Secure segments with toothpicks and serve.

Phenomenal sandwich. I think it is the sandwich spread. I made it on a pita. Next time I will tuck in some romaine lettuce. Great sandwich.

When you bring your lunch to work everyday, it gets hard to fine something "different". This was a wonderful surprise and a very fun brown bag lunch. the sandwiches were spicy, attractive, filling, and the talk of the lunch table. My husband and I thank you for sharing this recipe.
