1
Prepare Your Workspace
Gather all your ingredients and necessary cooking tools, including a frying pan and spatula.
2
Heat the Oil
In a frying pan over medium heat, add the oil and allow it to heat up until shimmering.

3
Cook the Tortilla
Place one flour tortilla in the hot oil and cook for about 30 seconds until it starts to bubble slightly.
4
Add Cheese
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla. Allow it to melt for about 1-2 minutes.
5
Fold and Crisp
Using a spatula, fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape and press down gently. Cook for another minute until the cheese is fully melted and the tortilla is golden brown.
6
Remove and Drain
Carefully remove the cheese crisp from the pan and place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Repeat the process with the second tortilla.

7
Garnish and Serve
Slice the cheese crisps into wedges and serve hot with optional toppings like sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro.
