Description

A mouthwatering Taco Grilled Cheese Sandwich recipe combining the cheesy goodness of grilled cheese with the bold flavors of tacos. Perfect fusion of comfort food and a Mexican classic!


Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 slices Sara Lee® Artesano Bread
  • 4 tbsp butter, softened
  • 8 slices cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 lb ground beef, seasoned for tacos (leftovers work great!)

Vegetables

  • 1 jalapeno pepper, diced
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1 avocado, peeled and sliced thin

For Dipping

  • Sour cream
  • Salsa

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread: Butter one side of a slice of bread with the softened butter and place it butter-side down in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add layers of ingredients: Lay a slice of cheddar cheese over the bread, then spoon 1/4 of the seasoned ground beef, 1/4 of the diced tomatoes, and 1/4 of the diced jalapeno peppers onto the cheese. Place 1/4 of the avocado slices on top of the layer, and add another slice of cheddar cheese.
  3. Top with the second slice of bread: Butter one side of another slice of bread and place it butter-side up on top of the cheese. Let it cook until the cheese starts to melt and the bottom bread slice turns golden brown.
  4. Flip and cook the other side: Carefully flip the sandwich and cook until the opposite side turns golden brown and the cheese is completely melted. Repeat the process for the remaining sandwiches.
  5. Serve: Serve warm with sour cream and salsa for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use leftover taco meat to save time and reduce waste.
  • Adjust the amount of jalapeno based on your spice preference.
  • Be gentle while flipping to keep the sandwich intact.
  • These sandwiches are best served immediately while warm and crispy.
