Note
For best results, wrap the assembled sandwich tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap before cutting in half. This helps hold the ingredients together and makes it easier to eat.
If you prefer a hotter sandwich, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or jalape&# 195;±os to the salsa-mayonnaise mixture.
Ensure the turkey bacon is fully cooked and crisp to provide a textural contrast to the soft avocado and bread.
