These easy-to-make meatless sandwiches are nice for a picnic. Wrap them in
plastic, and transport them in a cooler.

Using fork, mash avocado, lime juice, garlic and jalapeño in small bowl
until almost smooth. Season guacamole with salt and pepper.

Divide guacamole among all bread slices, spreading evenly (guacamole will
be thinly spread). Place 5 tomato slices atop guacamole on each of 4 bread
slices. Top each with 4 cucumber slices, then 2 onion slices, then
cilantro. Top with remaining 4 bread slices, guacamole side down, pressing
lightly. Cut sandwiches in half. (Can be prepared 3 hours ahead. Wrap in
plastic; chill.)

Makes 4 servings.
