I made this recipe last night after feeling inspired to cook dinner after work instead of left overs. This was a very quick and easy meal to make. Aside from making Avocado creama, it really is a 30 min meal. Unfortunately, I was unable to find authentic Mexican bolillo or telera rolls but some hearty egg rolls did the trick. The chihuahua cheese was also hard to find but i substituted for fresh Monterrey Jack cheese. My mother loved the surprise meal! I will definitely be making it again. I cut down the recipe a bit and still felt like there was 4 or more servings of meat.
Side note: Its not stated but I think a ripe Avocado would be best in this meal. It was not specifically stated so I used an avocado that was not ripe and the Avocado Crema was still light and refreshing.

I've made this 3 times now and have to say I really love it. The 2nd time I made it, I wasn't as impressed but I used a different chorizo (used Johnsonville the other 2 times. So I'd have to say the brand can make a difference in the outcome. Same thing goes with the salsa. I have to use mild because my husband doesn't like heat, but I would welcome a hotter salsa. The crema would take care of toning down the spice.

This is fantastic! I made it over the weekend and both my husband and I loved it. We took the leftovers the next day and made quesedillas with a fresh batch of the crema. We love the Sandwich King - it is the only cooking show that my husband will watch with me. Thanks Jeff.

Made this tonight and my husband and I loved it! The avocado crema is so delicious and I am for sure going to put it on lots of other stuff. I used half ground beef and half chorizo and it turned out yummy and not too heavy. Tip: add the lime a little at a time because I only used half a lime and it was almost too limey. I will definitely make this again. Thanks so much Jeff!!

Great recipe and a yummy deviation from the ordinary sloppy Joe. During the show Jeff said that cumin is actually the ground seed of the cilantro plant. I believe coriander is the ground seed of cilantro. Just FYI. Love the show. Jeff has a great sense of humor that makes me laugh while learning new recipes. Thanks, Jeff.

Amazing! My store was out of poblanos, so I did half jalapeños and half bell pepper. It was SO good. Between the jalapeños, the chorizo and the medium salsa, it was very spicy, but in a good way. I will probably do more crema next time. Will definitely make many more times!
