Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  2. 2 Seal chicken breast in a resealable zip-top plastic bag. Pound flat to 1/4-inch thickness. Add cornstarch and shake to coat.
  3. 3 Whisk egg in a shallow bowl. Dredge chicken breast through egg; leave it in the bowl. Add bread crumbs, cilantro, chipotle, oregano, cumin, and pepper to the bag; shake well. Lift chicken from the bowl, letting any excess egg drip off. Add to bread crumb mixture. Shake and press seasoned bread crumbs over chicken breast.
  4. 4 Place bolillo buns in the preheated oven until warmed through and toasted, about 12 minutes.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, mix mayonnaise and hot sauce together in a small mixing bowl.
  6. 6 Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken until browned, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cut chicken in half, lengthwise.
  7. 7 Assemble sandwiches. Spread spicy mayonnaise over both sides of the rolls. Add equal amounts of avocado, tomato, lettuce, carrots, and jalapeños to 2 halves. Add chicken and tops of rolls. Serve with remaining spicy mayonnaise for dipping.
