Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine taco seasoning with the butter until fully mixed.

  2. Thinly coat 1 side of each bread slice with butter mixture.

  3. Heat skillet to medium. When hot, lay down 2 of the four slices of bread, buttered side down.

  4. On each slice in the skillet, layer 1 slice of Swiss cheese, 1 teaspoon of the minced roasted jalapenos and 1/2 of the cheddar. Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, buttered side UP. (I actually put a little bit more of the jalapeno pieces into the butter mixture before spreading it.).

  5. Cover skillet and turn pan to medium low. Cook for 5 minutes.

  6. Uncover and flip when sandwiches have reached desired brownness. Raise heat to medium or medium-high and continue cooking until other side is to your preferred brownness.

  7. Goes perfectly with a good bowl of soup!
