Ingredients

  • 8 flour tortillas, about 20cm
  • 300g Oaxaca cheese or low-moisture mozzarella, grated
  • 100g mature Cheddar, grated
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil or butter
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Salsa roja, to serve
  • 100ml soured cream, to serve
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Method

  1. Mix the two cheeses together in a bowl.

  2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a little oil or butter.

  3. Lay a tortilla in the pan. Cover half with a quarter of the cheese and a few slices of jalapeño if using, then fold over.

  4. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden and the cheese has melted completely.

  5. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, then cut each into wedges.

  6. Serve hot with salsa roja, soured cream and lime wedges.
