Chipotle Chicken Avo Melt: The Full Breakdown
Elevate your lunch with the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt, a sandwich designed for fans of bold, smokey flavors and creamy textures. This fan-favorite sandwich features smoked, pulled chicken and melted smoked Gouda that provides a deep, sophisticated richness. Hand-scooped fresh avocado and cilantro add a bright, fresh finish, while sweet peppadew peppers provide a zesty pop of color and flavor.
All of these ingredients are pressed between two slices of our signature Black Pepper Focaccia and toasted until the Gouda is perfectly gooey, finished with a drizzle of our famous chipotle sauce.
