Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 1 cup Lettuce
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 medium Avocado
- 8 slices Sliced bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until well combined. Remove from heat.
While the beef cooks, prepare the toppings: shred the lettuce, dice the tomato, and thinly slice the avocado.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and hot sauce to create the zesty taco sauce. Set aside.
Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place four slices, butter side down, on a clean surface.
On each bread slice, layer 1/4 cup of the seasoned ground beef, a sprinkle of Monterey Jack cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of the sour cream hot sauce. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro for added flavor.
Top each sandwich with another slice of bread, butter side up.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grill each sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the skillet and let the sandwiches rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
