Instructions

  1. 01

    Spray a large pan or griddle with olive oil (or coat with 1/2 tablespoon of oil or butter). Heat on medium-high for 2 minutes, then add the tortilla. Warm for 30 seconds, then add the cheese to one half of the tortilla. Fold over the other half and press down with a spatula. *If adding other ingredients to the filling, make sure to add them here before folding the tortilla!

  2. 02

    Cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tortilla becomes lightly browned. Use a spatula to press down on the tortilla as it cooks to help the ingredients stick.

  3. 03

    Remove from the pan and let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
