The Southwestern Grilled Cheese

Step 1

In a medium bowl, add the lime juice, the honey, 1 tablespoon of the oil, the salt, and the pepper and whisk to combine.

Step 2

Add the cilantro and the red onions to the lime-honey mixture and let them sit, tossing occasionally until ready to use.

Step 3

In a small bowl, add the adobo sauce and the brown sugar and whisk to combine.

Step 4

Brush 1 side of each slice of the bread with the remaining olive oil.

Step 5

With the oil-side facing out, use the slices of bread to make sandwiches using the adobo mixture, the pickled red onions, and the cheese, making sure the sandwiches are evenly filled with each.

Step 6

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.

Step 7

In batches, add the sandwiches to the hot skillet and cover the skillet.

Step 8

Cook the sandwiches, flipping once, until the bread is golden-brown and the cheese has melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked sandwiches to a plate and cover them with foil to keep them warm.

Step 10

Repeat the cooking process until all of the sandwiches are cooked.

Step 11

Serve.
