I’m into layering my flavors lately and this Avocado and Jalapeño Vegan Grilled Cheese Sandwich might be the pinnacle of my efforts. It’s an exercise that’s very palatable to the average human tongue, so why not try the same thing for my vegan tongue? Could it be possible for vegans to enjoy the same layered flavors as much as the next guy…or gal? We’re about to find out!
I don’t care how many times I try to spell it, I never get Avocado right. It’s just about enough to make me want to stop using it.
Did I just say that? I think not!
I love avocados…whichever way they’re spelled.
And today I’m spelling I LOVE THIS SANDWICH!
There. I got that right.

Avocado and Jalapeño Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients
- 1 avocado
- 1 tablespoon dehydrated onion pieces
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 8 slices of your favorite hearty bread
- dairy-free margarine
- 4 slices of of Daiya Jalapeño & Garlic Havarti Vegan Cheese
- 4 – 6 slices Peppered Tofurkey deli slices
- 1 jalapeño be careful, they’re hot!, washed, seeds removed and sliced
Instructions
- Carefully slice an avocado in half, remove the seed, and place the flesh in a bowl. Add the dehydrated onion pieces and and lemon juice and mash together. Sprinkle with sea salt. Set aside.
- Slather the top of 4 slice of bread with dairy-free margarine. Place these on a skillet and turn the heat up to medium-low.
- Layer over the 4 slices of bread thin slices of the cheese, one to two slices of the tofurkey, and the avocado mixture.
- Slather margarine on top of the 4 remaining slices of bread. Place the unbuttered side down on the four sandwich bottoms cooking in the skillet.
- Spread the jalapeño slices in bare spots on the skillet so they can cook along side the sandwiches. Tip: Be sure to wear gloves or wash your hands after handling jalapeños.
- Once the bottoms have turned golden brown, carefully turn the sandwiches over so the buttered side of the top slice of bread is now on the skillet. Cook for another couple of minutes until that slice is golden brown as well, and the cheese is slightly melted.
- Serve sandwiches warm with slices of grilled jalapeño on top as a garnish or on the side. Once the seeds are removed and they’re grilled a bit, jalapeños will provide lots of flavor without all that heat.

This sandwich is amazing it’s so good! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
So glad you liked it!
Daiya’s “Cheese” Wedges are made with Palm Oil. Not Vegan IMO. Here’s a link showing why: https://www.greenthefilm.com/
Holy crap! So many of my favorite things in one sandwich. I was plotting what to make for dinner tonight with some Daiya Havarti. Decision made.
Made it today with garlic instead of onion & no turkey. Delishhhhhh! Thanks so much!
Oooh, I love adapting recipes. And how can you go wrong with garlic. Yum!
Ooh I am bookmarking this recipe. This sandwich looks and sounds really good. I love creating vegan sandwiches and while my husband is not big on sandwiches, he does love avocado and jalapeno! Trying this soon 🙂

Not what I want to see while on a detox…. But this will be the 1st thing I make once I’m eating solid foods again.
Sometimes I think the anticipation of a thing can be just as exciting as well. Good luck on your detox!

I so agree!
This needs to go in my mouth ASAP. It reminds me of your poppers recipe, which was killer by the way.
It does have some similarities, now that you mention it. One exception was the avocados. The thought of it all is making me drool. Sigh
