Mexican Cheese Bread

As you know...we love soup year 'round in the SFFS house. I normally like to serve some kind of bread with our soup so I'm always looking for ways to jazz it up a little bit. So when I made a yummy enchilada soup not long ago, I wanted a bread to match it. A little spice...a little cheese. This bread is SO good! If you're not a fan of cilantro, and I know lots of people are not...just leave it out. A few diced green chilies sprinkled on would be really good or if you're the brave type, throw on some sliced jalapenos for extra heat. Super yummy, guys!

Mexican Cheese Bread 



1 loaf french bread ~ sliced in half horizontally
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
2 cups shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, combine the mayo and the taco seasoning.
