Grilled Chili-Lime Chicken Sandwiches (Recipe 100 of 125)

Look at that! Recipe 100 and it's only August. I bet I hit closer to 135-140 this year. 

This recipe was solid. It was tasty, messy, and fully of some great chili lime flavor. The only thing I did not do for this recipe is the avocado. Blech. So instead I put the mayo mixture on the top and bottom of my bun. I used Ciabatta rolls because I thought they'd stand up better with what I assumed would be a sloppy mess...and I was right.
