For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a smear of black bean dip to the bread before adding the other fillings.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken and vegetables in a grill pan on the stovetop or roast them in the oven.
Feel free to adjust the amount of jalapeño in the marinade and salsa to your preference.
Make sure not to over-marinate the chicken as the lime juice will make the chicken tough.
