Tortilla and Cheese
Pico de Gallo
Optional Protein
Method
Preparing Pico de Gallo
Mix Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, finely chopped onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
Assembling the Dillas
Layer Ingredients
On a clean surface or cutting board, lay out the flour tortilla. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.
Add Pico de Gallo
Spoon a generous amount of the prepared pico de gallo over the cheese on the tortilla.
Add Protein (if desired)
If you are using a protein, add the cooked chicken, ground beef, or black beans on top of the pico de gallo.
Finish with Cheese
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the toppings.
Fold the Tortilla
Carefully fold the tortilla in half, covering the fillings.
Cooking the Dillas
Heat the Pan
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the Dillas
Place the folded tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove and Slice
Once cooked, remove the dilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve.
