Bacon and Guacamole Grilled Cheese

Nothing is better than a lovely grilled cheese sandwich. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, it doesn’t matter what time you have it.

Two days ago we reviewed what was basically a grilled cheese with a ton of roasted vegetables and not one, but two types of cheese. Before this, we’ve had tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons and even grilled cheese with pears in it. There are so many combinations it’s hard to fathom sometimes.

So we decided to shove some bacon and guacamole into a classic grilled cheese sandwich. First make some guacamole (you can find our recipe here). Make some bacon and toss them in.

I definitely recommend using a mixture of cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese with the guacamole and bacon. Oh, and if you can find a nice sourdough? Use that. Definitely, use that.

Cumin and Lime Spiked Grilled Skirt Steak with Avocado Corn Relish: Cookbook Review

This recipe is from Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken from the Border Grill.

Zoe’s Take:
9/10

I really enjoyed this steak and that’s saying something because I am easily bored by steak. The cumin comes on really strong and it’s supported really well by the lime. I marinated my meat for 24 hours and the meat was quite tender, but I really want to go for 48 and see how tender it gets then. the avocado corn relish is amazing, I want to eat it on everything. My biggest issue is the marination time, and also, I prefer not to use skirt steak unless I have access to a grill (which I do not at the moment).

Eric’s Take:
9/10

I was skeptical with this recipe at first. I had made something similar before, and it wasn’t my favorite to say the least. However, this recipe called for toasting cumin seeds and that made a big difference. The aroma held up to the other strong flavors. The cilantro paired well with the jalapeños, making it not only complex, but delicious. The accompanying corn relish was incredible. By far my favorite bite from this cookbook yet. This recipe lost a point due to the choice of meat. Skirt steak is not always available and is typically better grilled. The long marinade time required to develop a stronger flavor and break down the meat means you can’t just make this dish on a whim. There needs to be long preparation. However, other cuts would likely work very well with this recipe too.
