Helpful hints
- Steak can be substituted for chicken, pork, or removed completely for a vegetarian option.
- This sandwich is a little higher in potassium. Consider the rest of your meals for the days, serve with a lower potassium side. Potassium from whole foods like beans are not 100% absorbed by our body, which should also be considered.
- If you are on a lower potassium diet, you may leave off the avocado and tomato.
- If you are on a lower protein diet, you may leave off the beef stead and just make it a vegetarian sandwich.
