Nacho Cheese Sandwich - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/3 cup roma tomato, seeded and chopped
    1/4 cup green onion, finely chopped
    1 lb lean ground beef
    1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix
    1/4 cup pickled jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
    8 slices bread (thick)
    1 1/2 tablespoons light sour cream (or as needed)
    2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
    1 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste)
    1 avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into small pieces
    1 cup monterey jack pepper cheese, grated
    1/4 cup salsa
    2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
    1 1/2 tablespoons butter, spread (or as needed)
Preparation
    In a small bowl, combine tomatoes with green onions; stir well and set aside. In a large saucepan over medium heat, add ground beef and cook half way before adding taco seasoning; stir well. When the meat is almost cooked, add pickled jalapenos and gently combine. Remove from the heat and transfer into a colander to drain the fat very well to prevent the sandwich from getting soggy.
    To assemble the sandwich, working on only 4 slices bread, spread a thin layer of sour cream and then add about 1/4 cup of Cheddar cheese over. Distribute beef mixture evenly on top of the cheese. If you want spicier, add a few drops of hot sauce over the meat.
    Place avocado pieces on top of the meat followed by a 1/4 cup of Pepper Jack cheese on each. Spoon tomato mixture over evenly and to hold everything in place, add another 1/4 cup sharp Cheddar cheese on top. Add 1 tablespoons salsa per slice and sprinkle with cilantro. Place a slice of bread, press down gently and spread a thin layer of butter, covering the entire surface.
    Place sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with foil and transfer to the oven under the broiler with the rack positioned about 8-inches from the top. When they get nice and brown, remove from the heat, carefully flip them over and butter the other side with a thin layer of butter. Return to the oven and broil until golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
