Southwestern BLT with Avocado Salsa

There are few things I love more than a BLT that is stuffed with veggies. A little yin to go with the yang. Crisp, savory bacon with an abundance of lettuce and deep red tomatoes. And, Lord knows, I’m an avocado addict. Today’s palate-pleaser – a Southwestern BLT with Avocado Salsa – combines these two favorites with a little Southwestern flair. Cumin, red onion, and lime juice kick up the avocado, adding a zesty zip to this classic sandwich.
Missing your usual mayo? The plain Greek yogurt adds that cool creaminess you’re looking for, and boosts the protein-levels of this otherwise lightweight sandwich. And wrapping it all up in burrito-style in a flour tortilla means you won’t miss a single bacon crumb.

I’m serious about my BLTs. And this is seriously good!
