After 2 Italian style fusion dishes, today I am going south of the border to Mexico. So for the last day of this week’s BM, I made this Mexican style grilled cheese sandwich. It is cheesy, spicy and absolutely delicious. I had a million ideas for this week’s blogging marathon ‘fusion at its best’ theme. I wanted to try Indian style American desserts or Sandwiches. Then there was Korean style Mexican dishes and on and on.But then I didn’t get to make anything I planned for. Time seemed to slip out of my hands and I am left with ideas now 🙁 I Hope Valli has this theme again some time soon, so I can make some of those dishes.
Mexican Style Grilled Cheese Sandwich:
So today’s Mexican style grilled cheese sandwich was not really planned but it just happened. I had leftover Mexican style sautéed veggies from last night and I wanted to make something different with them. With the limited time I had today to make lunch, this grilled cheese sandwich seemed like the perfect idea.
Ingredients in this fusion Grilled Cheese:
This fusion cheese sandwich is a combination of melted cheese with sauteed Mexican flavored veggies. I used grilled peppers, onions and zucchini flavored with oregano, ground cumin, chili powder and salt. For cheese, I used grated pepperjack. But you can use any melting cheese like cheddar or monterey jack etc. For a little bit more of Mexican kick, I added tiny bit of salsa. I also added grilled veggie burger to give some protein to the sandwich. You can spread some refried beans or paneer or a fried egg to make it more filling and substantial. Avocado or guacamole would also be a good addition to this sandwich. All in all, this is a flavor packed sandwich that is sure to be a hit with adults and kids alike. Lets check out what my fellow marathoners have cooked today for BM# 97.
