Instructions
Preheat your pan: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Prep the tortillas: Lightly brush one side of each tortilla with oil or melted butter. This helps them crisp up evenly.
Assemble: Place a tortilla, oiled side down, in the pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese evenly over the top and add any desired fillings. Top with a second tortilla, oiled side up. Lightly sprinkle with kosher salt, if desired.
Cook: Cook 2–3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Continue with remaining tortillas and filling.
Slice & serve: Let rest for 1 minute before cutting into triangles. Serve warm with salsa, guacamole, or yogurt for dipping.
