  2. Slice sandwich buns and toast lightly in oven or skillet until golden brown.
  3. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on the bottom bun.
  4. Layer seasoned chicken over the cheese.
  5. Top with jalapeños, diced tomatoes, and optional extras like pickled onions or avocado slices.
  6. Spread guacamole on the top bun and drizzle with sour cream.
  7. Place the top bun over the loaded layers, pressing gently to hold everything together.
  8. Optional: Place assembled sandwich in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to melt the cheese slightly.
