Description
Delicious spicy beef sandwiches with melted cheese and fresh toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced white onion
- 1 small jalapeño, diced
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 6 slices American cheese
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 2 sandwich rolls
- 4 slices tomato
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 tablespoon oil (for sautéing)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and hot sauce until smooth. Chill in the fridge.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and jalapeño; sauté until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add ground beef to the skillet and break it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, 6–8 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning and cook for 1 more minute.
- Shape beef into two piles in the pan. Place 3 slices of cheese on each pile. Cover and let cheese melt, about 1 minute. Chop beef and cheese together roughly in the pan.
- Toast sandwich rolls cut-side down in a clean skillet until golden. Spread spicy mayo on both sides.
- Divide beef mixture between the rolls. Top with tomato slices and shredded lettuce. Serve hot!
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the spice level by using more or less jalapeño.
- These sandwiches can be served with additional toppings like avocado or pickles.
