Spicy Huevos Grilled Cheese takes typical breakfast burrito filling and stuffs it into a crispy grilled cheese sandwich.
Spicy Huevos Grilled Cheese
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Spicy Huevos Grilled Cheese is my recipe of the day with the blogging group From Our Dinner Table. We get together weekly to post on various food topics. This week we are discussing Brunch recipes.
I wanted to explore alternatives to the obvious breakfast burritos. Since I love the flavors but get tired of the same old thing.
I thought to convert the tortilla to bread and make a grilled cheese, since I already love toasted bread at breakfast. Plus I always adore a grilled cheese.
Although I was certain I would love this, it turned out even better than I expected.
I loved all the gooey cheese and the brush of sauce was just right (I used a taqueria habanero sauce, but choose the spice level right for you).
Accompanied by some fresh fruit, such as pineapple, this turned out to be a very tasty breakfast. Best part being that it wasn’t the same old same old.

These sammies made for a tasty dinner item! The eggs came out silky smooth and flavorful. In addition to green chilies, I also added chopped tomatillos I had on hand which provided some extra yummy. Love the concept of this sandwich. Thank you, Sue for sharing. Made it for The AmaZ’ing Race 2023 – Oaxaca, Mexico tag game over at recipezazz.com.
