Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces Flour tortillas Corn tortillas can be a gluten-free alternative.
  • 2 cups Shredded cheese Cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite variety. Consider vegan cheese as a substitution.
  • 1 tablespoon Butter Brings a golden crispiness; olive oil works as a healthier alternative.
Optional Ingredients
  • 1 cup Diced vegetables Like bell peppers, onions, or tomatoes.
  • 1 cup Cooked meats Such as chicken or bacon; leftover roasted chicken works great.
  • 1 cup Salsa Serves as a perfect dipping companion.

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet.
  3. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on half of the tortilla.
  4. If desired, add any optional ingredients like vegetables or meats.
  5. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  7. Remove from the skillet and slice in half.
  8. Serve warm with salsa or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

To enhance flavor, use quality freshly shredded cheese and ensure the skillet is hot enough for a golden-brown crisp. For a spicy kick, add jalapeño slices before folding.
