BLTs w/ Avocado & Spicy Mayo

This recipe is so good! I make it every time I am craving summer time!! Which is about once a week this time of year. : )

I passed this recipe onto my parents and they love the spicy mayo and eat it on sub sandwiches! They can't have a sandwich without this mayo.

Ingredients:
1 large garlic clove, crushed
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus more fore sprinkling
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
One 12-ounce package center-cut bacon
8 slices of hearty, white farmhouse bread
1 large or 2 small ripe Hass avocados
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
8 lettuce leaves, torn into pieces
8 dill pickle spears

Directions:
Chop the crushed garlic with the salt and press it with the side of the knife until mashed. Scrape the garlic into a small bowl and stir in the chili powder, 2 tablespoons of lime juice and the mayonnaise.

In a large skillet, cook the bacon in 2 batches until crisp. Pour off the fat between each batch. Drain the bacon on paper towels.

While the bacon cooks, toast the bread. Slice the avocado and sprinkle the slices with a few drops of the lime juice.

Spread 1 side of each piece of toast with the spicy mayo. Arrange the avocado slices on 4 of the toasts, pressing them firmly against the mayo. Arrange the bacon, tomatoes and lettuce on the avocado slices. Top the sandwiches with the remaining toast. Cut the sandwiches in half on the diagonal serve with the dill pickle spears.
