Ingredients

• 2 pieces Flour tortillas
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by shredding the Cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese if not already pre-shredded. Combine them in a bowl.

Step 2

Place a large skillet over medium heat and let it warm up for a couple of minutes.

Step 3

Add one tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt completely, ensuring the bottom is evenly coated.

Step 4

Place one flour tortilla flat in the skillet, and spread the cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla.

Step 5

Sprinkle the salt over the cheese mixture for added flavor.

Step 6

If desired, add red pepper flakes evenly over the cheese for a bit of spicy kick.

Step 7

Place the second flour tortilla on top of the cheese layer, pressing down lightly.

Step 8

Let the tortilla cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning.

Step 9

Carefully flip the tortilla over using a large spatula. If needed, use a second spatula to assist in flipping. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt underneath the tortilla.

Step 10

Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until it also turns golden brown and the cheese is thoroughly melted.

Step 11

Remove the tortilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing it into wedges.

Step 12

Serve your cheese tortilla warm, and enjoy it as is or with your favorite dipping sauces.
