Makes 4 tortas
2 ripe fresh Hass avocados*, seeded, peeled and sliced
1 ½ Tbsp. canned salsa verde
1 tsp. hot pepper sauce
12 oz. oven roasted turkey breast, sliced
½ cup pickled red onions
8 lettuce leaves
12 tomato slices
2 Tbsp. crumbled cotija cheese
4 telera (Mexican-style soft sandwich rolls)
Mash one avocado and combine with salsa and hot pepper sauce; spread over the bottom halves of rolls. Layer turkey, onions, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese on bottom halves of rolls. Top with remaining avocado. Replace the bread top and press down firmly to compress ingredients. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve. Cut in half just before serving.
Note: Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
