Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Start by shredding the Cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese if not already pre-shredded. Combine them in a bowl.
Place a large skillet over medium heat and let it warm up for a couple of minutes.
Add one tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt completely, ensuring the bottom is evenly coated.
Place one flour tortilla flat in the skillet, and spread the cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla.
Sprinkle the salt over the cheese mixture for added flavor.
If desired, add red pepper flakes evenly over the cheese for a bit of spicy kick.
Place the second flour tortilla on top of the cheese layer, pressing down lightly.
Let the tortilla cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning.
Carefully flip the tortilla over using a large spatula. If needed, use a second spatula to assist in flipping. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt underneath the tortilla.
Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until it also turns golden brown and the cheese is thoroughly melted.
Remove the tortilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing it into wedges.
Serve your cheese tortilla warm, and enjoy it as is or with your favorite dipping sauces.
