GRILLED CHEESE-CHIPOTLE SANDWICH

   4       sl           White or wheat bread
   2       ts           Pureed chipotle chiles
   5       oz           Cheese
                        - shredded or thinly sliced
   1                    Ripe tomato -- sliced
                        Thinly sliced red onion
                        Cilantro leaves
                        - coarsely chopped
                        Soft butter

  SPREAD EACH PIECE OF BREAD with thin coating of pureed chiles,
  or more if  you like your sandwich really hot. Cover bottom slice with
  layer of cheese,  tomato and onion slices and as much cilantro as you
  like. Top with second slice of bread and butter it. Place sandwich,
  butter-side down, in cast-iron skillet. Spread top piece of bread with
  butter as well and cook sandwich slowly. When golden brown on bottom,
  turn it over and cook on the other side. Covering pan will help melt cheese
  by the time bread is crisped and golden.
