Ingredients

  • 4 pcs Flour tortillas
  • 200 g Cheddar cheese
  • 100 g Monterey Jack
  • 30 g Butter
  • 100 ml Salsa
  • 100 ml Sour cream

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat butter in pan over medium heat.

    💡 Medium heat prevents burning while melting cheese.

  2. 2

    Place tortilla in pan. Add cheese on half.

    💡 Adding cheese to only half makes folding easier.

  3. 3

    Fold and press down. Cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side.

    💡 Pressing helps cheese melt and tortilla stick.

  4. 4

    Cut into wedges. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

    💡 Fresh salsa brightens the rich cheese.

  5. 5

    Add liquids and simmer for 10-15 minutes.

    💡 Low and slow yields tender results.

  6. 6

    Adjust seasoning and serve hot.

    💡 Taste and adjust salt last.
