Make a sauce by mixing equal parts chipotles in adobo and honey.

Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

Heat the griddle until hot.

Cook the prosciutto on the griddle until crispy, flipping as needed.

Assemble the sandwiches: spread the chipotle honey sauce on the buttered side of the bread, add jicama or apple slices, prosciutto, mozzarella or monterey jack cheese, and top with another slice of bread.

Toast the sandwiches on the griddle, checking frequently to avoid burning, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
