"Found at closetcookingdotcom & 1 of the recipes by Kevin Lynch included in his "Melty Grilled Cheese" Cookbook - We all know that grilled cheese sammies are the classic comfort food, but the pic of this recipe was a stunner & swept me back to my days in Dallas spent eating the best of the Tex-Mex genre. Per the intro: "W/all of its ingredients, this is 1 large sandwich & w/the salsa, sour cream & guacamole in there it can be 1 messy sandwich. Feel free to omit the salsa, sour cream & guacamole from the sandwich & serve them on-the-side." The black olives were my addition as DH loves them in all things Tex-Mex. This sandwich is definitely a good way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in style! Enjoy!"
