I finally had some bacon in the house the other day, and was craving a BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato Sandwich, in case anyone isn't familiar with them), but didn't have any tomatoes. I wasn't about to drive to the store just for a tomato or two, so I decided to use what I had on hand, which was a can of diced tomatoes and green chilies.
I used romaine lettuce, and the leaves were firm, which made it easier to contain the tomatoes and chilies, so they didn't fall all over the place. It was so delicious I made another one yesterday. I think I've found a new favorite sandwich, and seeing as grilled cheese (or grilled cheese with sliced tomato) is my other favorite, I might try adding some of the tomatoes and chilies to that next time, as well.
