Steps
Preparation
Prepare the ingredients: shred the cheese if it's not already shredded, and measure out the other ingredients. In a frying pan, melt the butter or heat the oil over medium heat.
Cooking
Place one tortilla in the heated pan. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over it, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Place another tortilla on top. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese begins to melt.
Flip and Serve
Carefully flip the tortilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until it's also golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted. Remove from the pan, cut into quarters or sixths, and serve immediately. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and cheese.
Extra Tips
► Use different types of cheese for an even richer flavor experience, such as smoked cheese or a little Parmesan.
► Serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for an even more complete experience.
► If you like it spicy, sprinkle a little chili flakes on the cheese before adding the second tortilla.
