Meatless Fiesta Chik'n Sandwiches

a Weekend Gourmet original

Ingredients (makes four sandwiches):

• 4 Alpha Foods Crispy Chik'n Patties
• 4 sandwich buns
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• 1 cup prepared pico de gallo

For the chunky avocado spread:

• 1 large avocado
• Juice from half a lime
• One garlic clove, finely minced
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• Salt & pepper to taste

For the salsa ranch:

• 1/4 cup ranch dressing
• 1/4 cup chunky salsa

Directions:
Step 1: Preheat oven to 425℉ and bake the Crispy Chik'n Patties according to package directions. While the patties crisp up, make the other sandwich components. Make the avocado spread by adding the avocado, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, and salt & pepper to a small bowl. Mash until the avocado is a bit chunky and the ingredients are completely combined.

Step 2: Make the salsa ranch by adding your favorite ranch dressing and salsa to a small bow. Whisk until completely combined into a gorgeous pink sauce! Adjust the spice level to your taste by using salsa that's mild, medium, or hot.

Step 3: When the Crispy Chik'n Patties are cooked, assemble the sandwiches. Toast your sandwich buns. Spoon a quarter of the salsa ranch sauce on the bottom half of the bun. Top with a Chik'n Patty and a slice of provolone cheese. Add a quarter of the avocado spread to the top half of the bun, then spoon a quarter of the pico de gallo on top of the avocado. Carefully place the top bun on top of the sandwich and serve.

Step 4: I find it easiest to assemble each sandwich on each person's plate -- it's less messy! Serve the sandwich with tortilla chips for a fun, complete meal.

This sandwich is bursting with all sorts of fun flavors and textures -- starting with the Crispy Chik'n Patties. They bake up crispy on the outside, and juicy inside. You'll never guess the patties are made with plant-based protein. Add in the salsa ranch, avocado spread, cheese, and pico de gallo? They make this sandwich a fiesta for your mouth! I can't wait to use these patties in all kinds of recipes. Speaking of...Alpha Foods has also created a digital recipe guide to help with unique ways to prepare the delicious vegan and vegetarian meals featuring Chik’n Patties. You can conveniently add Alpha Foods' Crispy Chik'n Patties to your Costco/Instacart cart order for delivery or pick-up in store at your local San Antonio Costco -- they're available at least through May.
