Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound ground fresh Mexican chorizo
8 slices good quality white bread, such as Arnold Country White Sliced
8 ounces shredded Chihuahua cheese
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1/4 cup pickled jalapenos, sliced
4 tablespoons salted butter, softened
Restaurant-style tortilla chips, such as Donkey corn tortilla chips
Honey Chipotle Crema, recipe follows
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon honey or agave
1 chipotle pepper in adobo, minced
1/2 lime, juiced
Kosher salt and pepper
Kosher salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and brown the chorizo over medium heat until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, scoop out the chorizo, and move to a paper-towel-lined plate. Set aside.
  • In between two pieces of bread, layer the cheese, chorizo, olives, jalapenos and then another layer of cheese. Add some butter to the griddle over medium-low heat, and place the sandwich on the griddle. Add more butter to the top of the bread and cover with a metal bowl until golden on the outside and gooey in the middle, 5 minutes per side. Open the sandwich and place a few tortilla chips inside, then close again.
  • Cut into quarters, serve with a side of Honey Chipotle Crema, and be prepared to never eat conventional nachos again.
  • Mix the sour cream, cilantro, honey, chipotle pepper, lime juice and some salt and pepper together, and set aside.

This grilled cheese was delicious! The nacho cheese and mozzarella melted perfectly and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

I'm not a big fan of nacho cheese, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The nacho cheese and mozzarella melted together perfectly and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This grilled cheese was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I'll try using less cheese next time.

This grilled cheese was easy to make and so tasty! I used sharp cheddar cheese instead of nacho cheese and it was still delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.
