Taco Beef Grilled Cheese Sandwich is loaded with seasoned ground beef, avocado, tomatoes and melted cheese. The ultimate grilled cheese sandwich!
It is Grilled Cheese sandwich month so I thought I would make a grilled cheese sandwich with a bit of a Mexican twist. Taco Beef Grilled Cheese Sandwiches may be a bit messy but they are so delicious. This sandwich pairs perfectly with my Roasted Garlic Tomato Basil Soup.
