Method

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter to coat the surface.
  2. Place a tortilla in the skillet, scatter with both cheeses and cilantro, and fold in half.
  3. Cook 2 minutes per side until the tortilla is deeply golden and the cheese is fully melted.
  4. Cut into wedges and serve with salsa roja, crema, and lime wedges on the side.
Cooks notes. Recipes are tested in a US home kitchen. Substitute lemon for lime if you must, but the result will read brighter. Salt to taste -- our quantities skew toward kosher.
