Ingredients: 1 avocado; 1 1/3 cups canned black beans; 1/4 cup cream cheese; 8 slices gluten-free bread; 1 1/3 cups shredded cheddar; 1/2 cup salsa

This sandwich takes your classic grilled cheese to the next level. Black beans provide plant-based protein and fiber, while avocados offer healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants.

And cheddar … well, cheddar makes everything better, no? Cheddar is rich in calcium, protein, and vitamin K2. Aged, sharp cheddar is also lactose-free.

We love that these grilled cheese sandwiches are on your plate in less time than it takes to unload the dishwasher.

Heat a skillet to medium-low. Add sandwiches, cover, and cook about 2 minutes, until bottom is golden brown. Flip, cover, and cook 1 to 2 more minutes, until shredded cheddar has melted.
