Mexican Grilled Cheese Chili
"My family loves sourdough grilled cheese sandwiches, Mexican food, and chili. Together, these ingredients make the most delicious chili ever! Smoky chili with hints of mole, creamy flavorful salsa con queso, tangy pepper jack cheese and buttery Mexican cheese blend, topped with guacamole, sour cream, cilantro, and roasted pepita seeds, served over spicy, crispy
sourdough taco fries. The Black Box Pinot Noir with strawberry,
red cherry and notes of toasty oak compliments the richness of the dish without being overpowering."
