2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

directions

In a shallow bowl, combine lemon juice, cornstarch, garlic, salt and pepper (to taste).
Add chicken cutelets, toss to coat.
Heat a large, heavy nonstick skillet over med-high heat.
Add 1 TBSP of the oil and saute chicken until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
Set chicken aside and wipe pan clean for later use.
Open each roll and lightly brush the outsides with the remaining oil.
Inside, spread a spoonful of salsa, then a layer of chicken, a layer of diced chilis, a sprinkling of cumin and both cheeses. Top with sour cream, then press sandwich closed.
Heat skillet over med-high heat and place sandwiches in skillet.
Reduce heat to med-low and cook until bread is golden in spots and cheese has melted, about 6 minutes per side.
For crisper, thinner sandwiches, press the sandwiches as they cook, by weighting them with another skillet or a wide-bottomed saucepan.
Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately, with additional salsa on the side.
