South of the Border Sandwiches

8 sandwich rolls, split open or 1 loaf french bread
1/2 cup olives, chopped
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup green onions, chopped
3/4 to 1 pound turkey, thinly sliced
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
2 ripe avocados, sliced
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

In a bowl, combine olives, chili powder, cumin and salt; set aside 2 T of this mixture. Add the mayo, sour cream, and green onions to the remaining olive mixture.

Place bread on an ungreased baking sheet and spread 1 T of the mayo mixture on each slice or roll. Top with slices of turkey and tomatoes. Spread with another tablespoon of the mayo mixture. Top with sliced avocados and cheeses. Sprinkle with the reserved 2 T of olive mixture.

Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until heated through. Makes 8-10 servings

Whoah!! I've had these too, and they are so yummy. I've made them for company a few times as well and always a pleaser! We thought it might be yummy to make the mayo/spice mixture and just put it on regular sandwiches sometimes too.

I have made these a couple of times and they are great. Last time, I had extra, so I froze it and I have been pulling it out of the freezer when I need something interesting for lunch.
