open-faced southwest sandwiches

sorry about the small picture. i stole the photo and recipe from my friend nancy's blog. i've made this bunches of times and it's super good. for my kids, i usually just do turkey and cheese and last night i just warmed theirs in the microwave because they often complain about "crunchiness."

1 large loaf french bread, sliced about 1/2 inch thick
1/2 cup olives chopped (opt)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup chopped green onions
3/4 to 1 pound turkey , thinly sliced deli style
2 medium roma tomatoes, sliced
2 large avocados, sliced
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, monterey jack, colby jack)

Place sliced bread on ungreased cookie sheet. (Line the sheet with foil to make melted cheese easier to clean up). In a bowl combine olives, spices, mayonnaise, sour cream and onions. Spread half of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon on each slice) on bread slices. Put turkey, then sliced tomatoes on bread. Top with rest of mayo mixture. Add a slice of avocado then shredded cheese. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or until heated through.

{i've never used olives. wade would probably love it if i did. i just always forget. and the picture is before it's baked. super yummy.}
