Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links linguiça sausage
- 1 cup queso cheese (melty cheese sauce)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeño peppers (optional, sliced)
- 4 grilled bread, buns, or tortillas
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
2. Lightly coat the linguiça sausages with olive oil using a brush. This helps prevent the sausages from drying out on the grill.
3. Place the sausages on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F.
4. While the sausages are grilling, warm up the queso cheese in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave according to package instructions. Stir occasionally to keep it smooth and melty.
5. Once the linguiça sausages are done cooking, transfer them to a serving platter.
6. Drizzle the warm queso cheese generously over the grilled sausages. For added spice and color, sprinkle with fresh cilantro and optional sliced jalapeños.
7. Serve the linguica con queso immediately with grilled bread, buns, or tortillas on the side for a complete and satisfying meal.
