Mexican Grilled Cheese


It's Real CHEESY!



Yes  people, I have done it again! My Mexican grilled cheese is the cheesiest, tastiest, did I say cheesiest grilled cheese I have EVER made! And yes, it's meatless. But who cares, this is so good, you want even miss the meat.

 
I went cheese shopping at a great Mexican grocery store and found all these great cheeses. Manchego, jack, cheddar, white cheddar, and my new favorite enchilado. It's a Mexican white cheese, coated in enchilada sauce.....Can I get a YUM!


 Look what we just invented, after a few minutes of grilling, we have created grilled cheese goodness.


Take another peak, creamy avocado, roasted poblanos and all that wonderful cheese....I added roasted jalapenos to Big Goo's, I decided I wanted to keep my sandwich a little less spicy today.


Yes people, it's time to EAT!


Oh, and don't think I forgot about Foodie Finds Friday™ . Look at what I have here, and yes, I ate the whole thing.... This gelato is so good and creamy...there really are no words...and I always have lot's of words....

    Grilled cheese is one of my few meatless meals. It never occurred to me to put meat in a cheese sandwich.
    I just got back from a trip to the local grocery. While I could find colby jack and white cheddar, the other two cheeses weren't available. I'll have to hunt harder, cause I want to try this.
