Prep Time:10 mins

Total Time:30 mins
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 links linguiça sausage
  • 1 cup queso cheese (melty cheese sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
  • 1 jalapeño peppers (optional, sliced)
  • 4 grilled bread, buns, or tortillas

Directions

Step 1

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Step 2

2. Lightly coat the linguiça sausages with olive oil using a brush. This helps prevent the sausages from drying out on the grill.

Step 3

3. Place the sausages on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F.

Step 4

4. While the sausages are grilling, warm up the queso cheese in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave according to package instructions. Stir occasionally to keep it smooth and melty.

Step 5

5. Once the linguiça sausages are done cooking, transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 6

6. Drizzle the warm queso cheese generously over the grilled sausages. For added spice and color, sprinkle with fresh cilantro and optional sliced jalapeños.

Step 7

7. Serve the linguica con queso immediately with grilled bread, buns, or tortillas on the side for a complete and satisfying meal.
