Better Grilled Cheese



Guacamole on grilled cheese...say what?! With cilantro and red onion, this is not the grilled cheese you grew up with! It's so delicious, you may never want to eat grilled cheese the standard way again. Seriously.

Now a word on avocados: they are difficult to manage. My one and only experience was tramatic - they were not ripe, but I didn't know better, and had to use them ASAP. My mom just made a salad with avocado in it, and apparently had no problems. Google how to find out a ripe one!

To make this sandwich, I "cheated" and used Trader Joe's Reduced Guilt Chunky Guacamole made with Greek Yogurt. If using this, I suggest not adding cilantro, as Guacamole is already cilantro packed. I added fresh cilantro, and I LOVE cilantro, and it was so overpowering! Do yourself a favor and buy the TJ's Guac and save money and time buying fresh cilantro and avocado!

I didn't add some of the other ingredients on the list (garlic, tomato) because I didn't have it on hand. The grilled cheese was still delicious!

Difficulty Level: 2+ Many ingredients, made more difficult if using avocado and not guacamole
Yum Factor: 5
