Fajita Grilled Cheese
My son asks for a grilled cheese sandwich nearly every day. And I can’t help but to make myself one too. I just can’t get enough grilled cheese. You can make them so many ways, and there’s so many delicious cheeses to try.
For this grilled cheese, I used a Salsa Jack from Great Midwest. It’s a combination of traditional salsa-inspired ingredients like tomato, onion, chives and jalapeño peppers in a delicious jack cheese. This cheese pairs wonderfully witht all types of Mexican inspired dishes.
To make these grilled cheese sandwiches I just sautéed some colorful bell peppers and onions in a skillet. Then I sliced a crusty baguette and layered the bell peppers with Salsa Jack from Great Midwest. I used a good butter and generously buttered the bread before grilling it in my skillet.
You could also add grilled chicken or fajita beef strips to this sandwich to make it even more flavorful.
