Notes

Additions and Substitutions

You can make your own tzatziki, or use store-bought. I've seen many new varieties of tzatiki in the refrigerated deli section of my grocery store near the other dips (like salsa).

Add fun fillings - roasted red peppers, sliced kalamata olives, or thinly sliced tomatoes.

You can use all American cheese, or add another sprinkle of your cheese of choice inside the sandwich.
