  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • FOR THE SOUR CREAM SAUCE

  • Step 1: Simply mix the sour cream and salsa together. If you like more spice, you can add a hot salsa, I prefer to use medium. Refrigerate until ready to use. Can easily be made ahead.

  • FOR THE GUACAMOLE

  • Step 2: Add the avocado, onion, garlic, cayenne, and lime juice to a small bowl and mix with a fork, slightly mashing the avocado as you mix it. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Step 3: Note: Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit using the knife. Then cut a cross pattern right in the shell with you knife; you can use a spoon to easily scoop out perfectly cubed avocado. Also, after mincing the garlic, take the side of the knife to mash the garlic. Once the avocado is mixed to your liking, cover well with plastic wrap and press right down on the guacamole in the bowl, then cover the actual bowl with another piece of plastic wrap. This will prevent the guacamole from browning at all. Obviously, if you are using it right away, this is not necessary.

  • Step 4: Tortillas ... I like to toast mine before making the sandwich. I don't want them crunchy, just lightly toasted and pliable. I add to a dry saute pan for just a few seconds to warm up and lightly toast.

  • Step 5: Sandwich ... Add a thin 'slather' of the guacamole to 2 of the tortillas, followed by half of the lettuce on each one. Then, on one tortillas, add the cheese and turkey; then, top with the second tortilla, which is already slathered with guacamole and lettuce; and, top with tomato, bacon, and finish with the salsa and sour cream mix.

  • Step 6: Serve ... Secure with 4 'frilly' toothpicks and slice in 4 wedges. Spicy sweet potato fries are the perfect side for me. ENJOY!
