SW Grilled Chicken Sandwich image

I was looking for the ultimate southwestern grilled sandwich for Cinco de Mayo, and this turned out fantastic! Basically a deconstructed Fajita cooked on the grill and served on a fresh Portuguese roll, this sammy was gobbled up by our guests last night, and I'm confident yours will feel the same way. If you don't have a favorite...
