Caprese Sandwich

My Sister and I went to Cancun, Mexico a few years ago for vacation.  After a day of flying and having no lunch, we were starving by the time we got to the hotel.  The hotel was beautiful and had just reopened after a hurricane that did some major destruction in the area.  We were with a rather large group of over 100 people and we quickly filled that little restaurant up.  We were so hungry, that we decided to get an appetizer while we waited for our actual meal.  We decided to get the caprese sandwich.  Neither of us had ever had this before and it sounded so good.  It did not disappoint.  My picky sister even ordered it again a few days later!  We loved it so much, we decided to try replicate it at home.  We still talk about the food on that vacation because it was as fabulous as the hotel, room, pool and spa treatments we had.  The best part, the trip was free!  My sister was so nice to share that wonderful gift with me.  We have done many sister trips and this one was amazing!
