Notes

  • Do you have to cover the pan with a lid? You don't have to but I find it helps to melt the cheese faster.
  • Make sure not to turn up the heat too high. It can burn the tortilla without melting the cheese.
  • Use a pizza cutter to easily slice these into triangles.
  • For extra melty, gooey, delicious cheese, use freshly shredded rather than prepackaged.
