Heat a griddle (comal), or use a skillet if you don’t have one. To check if it’s hot, sprinkle a little water on it—the drops should sizzle and dance. Once it’s hot, lower the heat to the lowest setting. Place as much shredded cheese as you like on half of a tortilla—my family likes them extra cheesy. Here, I made one with a corn tortilla and one with a whole wheat flour tortilla.

Place the tortilla with cheese on the griddle. Once it’s warm, fold it over the cheese and cover with a lid. After 2 or 3 minutes, flip it so the other side heats up and the cheese melts completely.

Serve with your favorite salsa, homemade or store-bought. You can also add other ingredients like ham, veggies, or anything you like.
