This traditional Mexican dish is made lighter by grilling instead of frying. A quick and easy snack, you can also make this as an interactive appetizer for an outdoor party and cook to order from the grill.
Ingredients:
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
1 cup monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend, shredded
Directions:
1. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium.
2. Place half of the tortillas on the grill, and drop a quarter-cup of cheese in the center of each. Spread cheese as close to edges as possible.* Place a second tortilla on top of each.
3. Grill until bottom tortilla is lightly browned and cheese begins to melt, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until browned on the other side.
4. Cut into quarters and serve with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
5. *Optional: Add grilled chicken or shrimp and/or sauteed onions and peppers at this step. Both will add flavor and texture, although the recipe is complete without them.
