Why go for the same old grilled cheese sandwich when you can have this flavorful sandwich instead? Even better served with an ice cold Mexican beer.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I used parsley instead. It was still delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken came out really tough. I think I might have overcooked it.

I thought the flavors were a bit bland. I would add more spices next time.
