how to roast a jalapeño.

Roasting the jalapeño is an optional step but I love that it gives the sandwich a deeper richer flavor. To roast:

• Use a pair of tongs to hold the jalapeño over the smallest gas burner on your stove.
• Turn the heat up to the level you are most comfortable with but just note that the lower the flame the longer it will take to roast.
• Roast each side until the jalapeño skin starts to darken and pop. Generally this will take about 10 minutes.
• Once roasted let it cool for about 5 mins and then dice.
• Remove seeds to help keep spice level lower.

how do you know when an avocado is ripe?

There are a few easy ways to tell.

• When ripe, avocados will give slightly when gently squeezed but you shouldn’t be able to make a finger indentation in them.
• Often the avocado skin will change from a brighter green color to a deeper green color when ripe.
• Lastly, did you know that the avocado stem holds the sneak peak for ripeness? If you try to remove the avocado stem and it is difficult the avocado is not ripe. If it is easy to remove and the flesh reveals a beautifully bright green color than chances are the avocado is perfectly ripe. When the flesh is a dark green color than the avocado is over ripe.

how do i keep the avocados from turning brown in this chicken sandwich?

The lime juice will absolutely help but here is a trick. If you are making up the avocado chicken salad ahead of time before eating, mix all the ingredients together except the lime juice. Place the avocado mixture in an airtight container and smooth it out so it is flat in the container. Squeeze the lime juice over the top and do not mix it in until serving. Use 2 limes if it looks necessary. This will keep the avocado mixture a beautiful shade of green.
