Taco Grilled Cheese Recipes

TACO GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Butter one side of a piece of bread with the softened butter and place butter-side down in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• Add a slice of cheese to the bread and spoon 1/4 of the beef, 1/4 of the diced tomatoes, and 1/4 of the diced peppers on the cheese. Lay 1/4 of the avocado slices over the top and top them with another slice of cheese.
• Butter one side of another slice of bread and place it butter-side up on top of the cheese, cook until cheese begins to melt and bread turns a golden brown, flip and cook the other side until cheese is melted through. Repeat for other sandwiches.

GRILLED PRIME CHEESETEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Put the tenderloin on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Flip the tenderloin and freeze for another hour. Use a very sharp knife to slice the meat as thinly as possible.
• Roast the poblano directly over an open flame, turning regularly, until blistered and blackened all over, about 5 minutes. Put in a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and let cool for at least 10 minutes. Rub off the blackened skin, remove the stem and seeds and slice into 1/4-inch strips.
• Heat a cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat on one side and medium-low heat on the other side. On the cooler side, drizzle with olive oil, add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and beginning to char, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the roasted poblano to the onions and cook for another 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle the meat with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Drizzle the hot side of the grill pan with olive oil, then lay the meat in a single layer, in batches if necessary. Cook very quickly on the first side, about 1 minute. Flip and cook on the other side, another minute or so. Repeat the process until all the meat is cooked. Reserve in a bowl along with the onions and pepper until you are ready to serve.
• Heat both sides of the griddle over medium-high heat and oil lightly. Arrange the tortillas in a single layer on the griddle and heat about 30 seconds per side, then wrap in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
• To build the tacos: In a warm tortilla, layer some meat, spoon on a couple of tablespoons of Cheese Sauce, add a few of the pepper and onions and top with the pickled cherry peppers.
• Set a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the evaporated milk and Dijon and whisk together until uniform and smooth. Toss the Cheddar, pepper jack and blue cheese with the cornstarch in a bowl until totally coated. Whisk the cheese mixture into the milk mixture and heat, stirring constantly, until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is silky and smooth, about 5 minutes. Keep warm over low heat until ready to use.

TACO GRILLED CHEESE RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over medium high heat, brown ground beef. Drain off any excess liquid and stir in the package of taco seasoning and 3/4 cup of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes (or until the ground beef is fully cooked), stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, cook the potato browns by either baking them in the oven or deep frying them according to package directions. Drain on paper towels (if deep frying). Pre-heat a skillet to medium high heat. Spread butter over one side of a slice of bread. Place butter side down into the skillet. Top with 2 slices American cheese, taco meat, potato crowns, and shredded Mexican cheese blend. Butter an additional slice of bread on one side and place it butter side up on top of the sandwich. Cook in the skillet until lightly browned on the bottom and flip over. Continue cooking until the other side has browned and the cheese has melted. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.

GRILLED CHEESE-STUFFED CHILE TACOS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for high heat. Halve the Cubanelle peppers lengthwise, trim the tops and remove the seeds. Drizzle the peppers, tomatoes and onion rounds with oil, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place the vegetables on the hot grill, cut-side down, and cook 6 to 7 minutes, flipping halfway through, to get some charred areas and dark grill marks. Set aside the grilled pepper halves.
• Put the grilled tomatoes and onion, garlic, chipotles, cilantro, juice of 1 lime and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a food processor, and pulse about 20 times for a chunky salsa.
• Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits and scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a medium bowl. Add the remaining lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mash the avocado lightly with a fork so that some large pieces remain.
• Stuff about 2 tablespoons of the Monterey Jack into each pepper half. Place a piece of aluminum foil, large enough to hold all the peppers, on the grill. Arrange the stuffed pepper halves on the foil. Cover the grill to melt the cheese, about 4 minutes.
• Heat the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side for light grill marks. Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil to keep them warm and soft.
• To assemble a taco, spread some of the avocado on a tortilla. Top with a stuffed pepper half, followed by a spoonful of salsa, a dollop of the sour cream and some torn cilantro leaves.

GRILLED CHEESE TACOS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat; generously oil grates.
• Lightly brush corn with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss onion with oil in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Grill both, turning often, until tender and charred in spots, 10-15 minutes for corn and 4-5 minutes for onions. Let corn cool slightly. Cut kernels from cobs and transfer to a medium bowl.
• Brush cheese with oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill, turning once, until charred and warmed through, about 2 minutes per side.
• Warm tortillas in a microwave or on cooler area of grill until soft and pliable. Divide cheese among tortillas, then top with corn, onion, avocado, salsa, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges alongside.

ROTISSERIE CHICKEN TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place taco shells on a baking sheet.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken, tomato sauce, 3 tablespoons salsa, and taco seasoning; stir well. Cook until heated through, stirring occasionally, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put refried beans in a microwave-safe container. Stir, cover, and microwave on high until hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir again and set aside.
• Warm taco shells in the preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Place warmed taco shells on a serving platter. Lay out remaining salsa, chicken mixture, refried beans, lettuce, Mexican cheese, bell peppers, and tomatoes in nice serving bowls and allow diners to fill their own tacos.
