Turn the irresistible guac and chips into a GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH! Adding chips to a sandwich feels like you’re breaking the rules but it is soooo satisfying and delicious.
Twenty-four hours from now we will be ON THE ROAD. Our house is buzzing with excitement. And dust bunnies. Packing up the RV is our main priority. Cleaning the dust bunnies that we’ve stirred up will be put on hold until our return. At this time tomorrow we’ll be cruising down the interstate, singing and window-gazing our way to our first destination!

One of the many things I’m looking forward to about being on the road is making versatile salads such as this Edamame Summer Salad (making this one today!) that we’ll be able to munch on throughout the days to come. TODAY, however, I plan to create something that typically does not get made in the RV and that closely resembles this Chips and Guac Grilled Cheese. I ADORE this sandwich. If you know me, you know how much I love guacamole and also how much I love grilled cheese sandwiches. Combining those two loves? Over-the-top amazingness, people.
I haven’t decided how much I’m going to document our impending trip, but keep an eye here for details. Thanks for being here! Enjoy the sandwich!

GUACAMOLE AND CHIPS GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH
Turn the delicious, savory Mexican snack into a grilled cheese sandwich!
ingredients:
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped

- Squirt or two of fresh lime juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 slices cracked wheat bread
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature

instructions:

- Place the bread slices on a flat work surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
- Warm a skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Layer each sandwich as follows: Slice of bread, butter side down, ½ cup shredded pepper jack cheese (or 2 slices), ½ of the avocado mixture, ½ of the crushed tortilla strips, ½ cup shredded pepper jack cheese (or 2 slices) and slice of bread, butter side up.
