This recipe is also yet another recipe that is easy and our family loves—I had to make it keto!

You’re in luck (me too!), because I figured out three different ways to put the yummy flavors of Baked Southwest Sandwiches into a keto meal. You’re going to LOVE these!

Which Easy Should I Choose?

Each of these three versions has almost the same components: Southwest Mayo, avocados, tomatoes, cheese, and turkey. It really is that simple.

They’re all super easy. But if you want something that doesn’t need to be baked, I would go for the Southwest Turkey Avocado Wraps. It doesn’t get any easier!

If you make up the filling beforehand, you can bring along some lettuce or the turkey slices and have an easy, healthy, low carb work or school lunch ready to go!

The awesome part is that if you get tired of one recipe, you can switch and try another one! (Though I doubt you’ll get tired of any of them!)

I like to buy the fixings for them, make a big batch of the Southwest Mayonnaise, and then rotate between all three versions over the next few days. Yum!

Notes for 3 Easy Baked Southwest “Sandwich” Keto Variations

The Southwest Mayonnaise is an extremely flexible and flavorful condiment that is great on these three Southwest Sandwich variations, but is also good for tons of other meals!

I’m sure you’ll think of something to put it on as soon as you taste it. If you want to make the mayo and use it on something other than these recipes, I would add about ½ cup to ⅔ cup of the spiced olives to the mayo recipe below. Sometimes I add more. They’re so yummy!

The mayonnaise is definitely what makes this meal, so don’t skip it or use plain mayo! You can thank me later.

Avocado Tip: The best tip I’ve heard of for making baked stuffed avocados is to use a muffin pan instead of a flat cookie sheet. The muffin holes cradle the avocados and keep them from tipping over, spilling their contents! Brilliant!
