Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place a corn tortilla in the skillet and warm it for about 30 seconds on each side until it's pliable.

  2. 2

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle approximately 1/2 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the warmed tortilla. Allow the cheese to melt, which should take about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Crisp the Tortilla

    Once the cheese is melted, carefully flip the tortilla to crisp the other side. Cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

Serving

  1. 4

    Add Toppings

    Remove the cheese crisp from the skillet and place it on a serving plate. Top with green chiles, sour cream, guacamole, and cooked meat or chicken as desired.

  2. 5

    Serve Hot

    Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy your Cheese Crisp!
