Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

Bacon creates the crispy smoky layer that makes a BLT so satisfying and flavorful.

Bread slices provide the crunchy outer texture of the sandwich. Sourdough, toasted white bread, or artisan bread work wonderfully.

Avocado adds creamy richness and balances the crispy bacon beautifully.

Tomatoes provide juicy freshness and natural sweetness that brighten the sandwich.

Lettuce adds crisp texture and freshness to every bite. Romaine or iceberg lettuce both work well.

Mayonnaise forms the creamy base for the spicy sriracha sauce.

Sriracha sauce adds bold heat and flavor without overpowering the sandwich. I once added a little extra sriracha with lime juice, and the flavor turned out even fresher and more vibrant.

Butter can be lightly spread on the bread before toasting for extra golden crispiness.

Black pepper enhances the flavor of the tomatoes and avocado beautifully.

Directions

Start by cooking the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy and golden brown. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to remove excess grease.

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce until smooth to create the spicy mayo spread.

Toast the bread slices lightly until golden and crisp.

Spread the sriracha mayo generously over one side of each bread slice.

Layer lettuce leaves over the bottom slice of bread.

Add tomato slices and season lightly with black pepper.

Place sliced avocado over the tomatoes, gently spreading it for even coverage.

Top with crispy bacon slices.

Finish with the second slice of bread and slice the sandwich in half before serving.

Serve immediately while the bacon is still crisp and the bread is toasted.

Storage/reheating

This sandwich is best served fresh for the crispiest texture and freshest flavor.

If needed, store the bacon separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and assemble the sandwich just before serving.

To reheat bacon, warm it in a skillet or oven until crispy again.

Avoid storing fully assembled sandwiches because the tomatoes and avocado may soften the bread over time.

Variations and Customizations

One of the best things about this BLT with avocado and sriracha mayo is how easy it is to customize based on your preferred flavors and textures.

For extra richness, add a fried egg on top of the bacon for a breakfast-inspired sandwich that feels incredibly satisfying. I once added a runny egg yolk, and the creamy texture paired perfectly with the spicy mayo.

If you enjoy stronger spice, add sliced jalapeños or extra sriracha directly onto the sandwich for more heat.

You can also experiment with different breads like brioche, ciabatta, or sourdough for different textures and flavors.

For a healthier version, use turkey bacon and whole grain bread while keeping the creamy avocado and spicy mayo for flavor.

Fresh herbs like cilantro or basil can also add brightness and freshness to the sandwich.

Another delicious option is adding cheese such as cheddar, pepper jack, or mozzarella for extra creaminess and richness.

If you prefer a lighter sauce, substitute Greek yogurt for part of the mayonnaise while still adding sriracha for heat.

You can even turn this recipe into wraps or sliders for parties, quick lunches, or entertaining guests.
