South of the Border Grilled Cheese image

Oh WOW! So many textures and flavors, your taste buds are going to be really happy with this grilled cheese. Grating the cheese helps melt it to ooey gooey gooey goodness. I did use the pepper bacon and would recommend it ... adds that extra pop of flavor.

Categories     Sandwiches

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 slice thick bacon (pepper bacon sounds good), chopped
2 oz extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated
2 oz pepper jack cheese, grated
1/2 tsp ground cumin
3 Tbsp guacamole (freshly made)
2 Tbsp tortilla chips, crushed
2 slice bread, sour dough, if you have it
sweet butter, unsalted, to coat the bread

Steps:

  • 1. DANGER MAD SCIENTIST AT WORK
  • 2. Grate the two cheeses, make the guacamole, crush the tortilla chips, and melt the butter.
  • 3. Gather all the ingredients.
  • 4. Chef's Tip: Because we want the cheese and other ingredients to nicely melt into the sandwich, make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature.
  • 5. Mix the two cheeses together in a bowl with the cumin, and set aside.
  • 6. Place the bacon in a sauté pan (big enough to hold the sandwich), and cook until just about crisp.
  • 7. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on a paper towel.
  • 8. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the pan.
  • 9. Butter one side of each of the two slices of bread.
  • 10. On the unbuttered side of one of the bread slices, add half the cheese.
  • 11. Next spread the guacamole.
  • 12. Add the bacon.
  • 13. Cover with the crushed tortilla chips.
  • 14. Add the remainder of the cheese.
  • 15. Cover with the other piece of bread. Butter side up.
  • 16. Cook in the sauté pan over medium heat until the bread is golden, and the cheese has melted, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • 17. Chef's Note: If the pan is too hot, you'll burn the outside of the bread before the cheese has a chance to melt. Medium heat is all you want.
  • 18. Serve with some additional chips, and your favorite salsa, as a dipping sauce for the sandwich. Enjoy.
  • 19. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

This grilled cheese was okay. The avocado was a bit too mushy for my taste.

I'm not a big fan of avocado, but I really enjoyed this grilled cheese. The pepper jack cheese and cilantro were a great combination.
