Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Cheese
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded Oaxaca or Mozzarella cheese to the skillet and let it melt until it starts to bubble and turn golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
- 2
Add the Tortilla
Carefully place a tortilla on top of the melted cheese. Let it cook for about 1 minute until it adheres to the cheese.
- 3
Flip and Add Filling
Gently flip the tortilla over so the cheese is on the bottom. Add 1/4 cup of the cooked and shredded meat on top of the tortilla.

Finish Cooking
Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to become crispy and the meat to warm through.

Serve
Remove from the skillet and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve with salsa and lime wedges on the side.
