    Made with guacamole and chipotle cheddar, this Mexican Grilled Cheese is a tasty way to enjoy this cheesy favorite

    Mexican Grilled Cheese from Living Well Kitchen

    Chipotle cheddar, tomatoes, and guacamole between two buttered slices of bread and served with low sodium salsa...

    such a tasty grilled cheese that is great for when you want something with a little more flavor than your basic grilled cheese.

    I decided that some tomato slices with a side of salsa would be a nice nutritious option to add to my grilled cheese to up the nutritional value of the cheesy sammy.

    If you don't want to use Chipotle Cheddar {it's a smoky, slightly spicy cheese}, you can use pepper jack or just regular sharp cheddar.

    Other than that, this grilled cheese is packed with flavor and is an easy, filling, vegetarian meal.
