Ingredients

1 avocado
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/3 cup grape tomatoes, quartered
2 teaspoons jalapenos, chopped (jarred variety)
salt and pepper
2 pieces naan bread (or can use tortillas or any other bread)
4 pieces bacon, cooked crisp
1 cooked chicken breast half, sliced thin (I usually used left over grilled or smoked)
3 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, sliced (I use half-light by Cabot)
1 -2 teaspoon fat-free mayonnaise
1/4 cup fat-free cheddar cheese, grated

Heat panini press to medium. (Or can grill on skillet or George Foreman).
Peel and remove pit of avocado. Coarsely mash avocado in bowl using fork (leave some chunks). Add lemon juice and stir. Stir in onion, cilantro, chopped jalapeños, and tomatoes. Salt and pepper to taste.
Spread thin layer of mayo on bread slices.
Assemble sandwich by layering onto bread sliced jack cheese, chicken, bacon, avocado mixture, and grated cheddar. Top with remaining slice of bread.
Grill until heated through and crispy on the outside. If using Naan bread, slice into six triangles. (If using other bread/tortilla, cut according to size of sandwich).

Tips:

For the best flavor, use ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, and slightly soft to the touch.
If you don't have a panini press, you can use a grill or a skillet to cook the sandwiches. Just be sure to press down on the sandwiches with a spatula to get a nice, even grill mark.
