Step 1
Warm the 4 tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side, until pliable.
Step 2
On one half of each tortilla, layer 1/2 cup shredded meat, 1/2 cup cheese, and 2 tbsp salsa. Fold the other half over to form a half-moon.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook 2 gringas at a time, pressing gently, until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and gringas.
Step 4
Cut each gringa in half and serve hot with extra salsa on the side.
