Chick’amole Salad Sandwich

What is chick’amole? It’s what happens when you combine the ingredients for chicken salad with guacamole to make a guacamole chicken salad sandwich and then portmanteau its name (aka name blending).

I put guacamole in a sandwich with chicken and it’s freaking tasty! Not really surprising, since anything with avocado is a dream. I call it a Chick’amole salad sandwich since it’s the combination of chicken salad and guacamole.

Obviously the main ingredients and chicken and avocado, but there’s also red onion. jalapeno. tomatoes, bacon, sour cream, mayo, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper, and salad green if you prefer to serve it that way on a toasted sandwich bun.

In case you don’t have any sliced bread of buns lying around, you’re in luck because this magically transforms into a dip – perfect with tortilla chips just like it’s cousin guacamole. Yes I ate it both ways. I may have even dipped kettle chips into my sandwich a couple of times while eating it. Don’t judge. Heck put the kettle chips ON your guacamole chicken salad sandwich. If you’ve never tried it you’re seriously missing out.

Leftovers didn’t really occur from this meal, it disappeared much too quickly. But avocados are full of “good fat” right?
