🌮🧀 Taco Stuffed Grilled Cheese Sandwich 🧀🌮
Detailed Recipe & Step By Step Instruction Here 👇
📋 Ingredients:
🌶️ 4 teaspoons chili powder
🌿 2 teaspoons ground cumin
🧄 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
🌶️ ½ teaspoon smoked paprika or red paprika
🌿 ½ teaspoon dried oregano
🧂 ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
🧂 ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
🥑 3 semi-soft avocados
🧅 ¼ cup fine chopped red onion
🌿 ¼ cup fine chopped cilantro
🍋 1 ½ limes juiced
🧂 Salt to taste
🍞 1 loaf sliced sandwich bread
🍖 Prepared taco meat (use ground turkey or chicken)
🥑 Prepared guacamole
🧀 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
🧀 8 ounces Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
🍅 3 small tomatoes, thinly sliced
🧈 4 tablespoons soft butter
🍚 Sour cream and/or salsa for serving
📝 Instructions:
1️⃣ For The Taco Meat:
Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat. Cook and crumble the ground meat until no pink remains, drain off any fat. 🍖
Add in spices with 1/4-cup of water. Mix thoroughly and cook until most of the water has evaporated and meat and spices are well combined. 🌶️
2️⃣ For The Guacamole:
Slice open, seed, and scoop out the avocado halves into a small bowl. Add lime juice and mash with a fork. 🥑
Stir in chopped onion, cilantro, and a good pinch of salt. 🧅
Use immediately. 🍋
3️⃣ Assembling the sandwiches:
Heat a large skillet over low heat. 🔥
Butter the slices of bread and start layering the sandwiches – buttered sides facing out. 🍞
Start with about 1 ounce of cheddar; top with about 1/4 cup of taco meat, then a 1/4 cup of guacamole; layer a few tomato slices; top with 1 ounce of Monterrey Jack; finish with your top piece of bread. 🥪
Grill on low for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown, flip and finish the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes. 🍞
Serve with sour cream, salsa, and any extra guacamole for dipping. 🍚
💡 Notes:
◻️ The key to melting the cheese without burning the bread is the low heat setting; grill these low and slow. 🍞
◻️ Depending on the amount of filling, you may be able to get eight sandwiches in total. I made six hearty sandwiches with a little meat and guacamole leftover. Begin and end layers with cheese.
