Cooking Steps
• Halve buns; toast until golden brown.
• Wash and dry produce.
• Slice tomato into ¼-inch-thick rounds. Season with a pinch of salt.
• Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Thinly slice crosswise into strips.
• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, toss chicken with half the Mexican Spice Blend (all for 4 servings), a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper; sprinkle with Monterey Jack. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and microwave until chicken is warmed through and cheese melts, 1-2 minutes.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the tasty combination of guacamole, spiced chicken, and cheese, though some found it bland and wanted more seasoning.
- Ease of prep: Customers raved about how quick and simple this meal was to prepare, perfect for busy days or work lunches.
- Suggestions: Consider leaving chicken whole instead of slicing for easier eating; add extra spices or toppings like bacon for more flavor.
- Portions: Some felt one sandwich wasn't quite enough; adding a side like chips, fries, or a small salad would make it more filling.
- Texture: A few found the pre-cooked chicken dry or rubbery; cooking it yourself or using the air fryer instead of microwave may help.
Reviews from our home cooks
Portion was great and so were the flavors. Were on the fence with this one but was actually one of our favorites! The guac spread made this meal! We dipped and ate every last bite.
This was a very tasty sandos but very difficult to eat. The sandwich was so large that I could not get my mouth round it. Perhaps a less thick bun would have helped. I tried eating it as an open face sandwich but that was very messy. I think I might like it with sourdough bread instead of the bun.
I enjoyed this. Plenty of tender chicken and sauce. I didn't use the sliced tomato on the sandwich because I didn't think it would stay together with that and the chicken and the sauce. The cheese got kind of lost in the heating process so, I think I would mix it in after heating the chicken next time.
This was delicious, super quick and easy! Not usually a guac fan but it was great in this
Flavor was alright but that was mostly from the guac, bun and mayo. Wasn't a huge fan of the chicken. A tad dry. Could be my own fault because I don't have a microwave and had to cook it on a pan. Tomato came with a split down the middle and was not very red. Didn't look like the freshest tomato.
Man! This was the best sandwich I ever et! That tomato was not pretty but it sure did bring out the flavors in that guac! Just lovely!
This was a quick and easy meal for a busy night. Got it with the tomato soup, which made for a perfect meal.
This was a definite do-over! Easy, peasy prep; the spices were fantastic; & there was plenty of chicken left over for my extremely picky 6 y/o to enjoy a small bowl of her own.
These are SOOO GOOD! It feels like such a lil hidden gem. The flavor and textures are perfection. My only thing is - there's left over chicken every time I've made this, but I can't fit anymore on the sandwich. So we either need larger buns or an extra bun or somehow, less chicken. But it's a favorite for sure!!
Super easy and tasty! I don't like tomatoes so I replace with roasted red pepper slice and it was perfect!
