This sandwich is fairly high sodium, mostly due to the cheese. I don’t make this often, but it is a wonderful comfort food dinner. The mashed avocado and watermelon wedge balance the fire of the jalapeno in the veggie filling.

The veggie filling is simply 1/2 onion, 1 bell pepper (I prefer red) and 2 jalapenos, diced but not seeded.  Saute in a little olive oil until everything starts to get very soft and caramelized.
