Step 1
Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Slice the quesillo into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and lay them flat in the hot skillet.
Step 3
Cook without moving until the bottom edges start to brown and the cheese begins to soften, 2–3 minutes.
Step 4
Gently flip each slice and cook the other side until melty and the edges look crispy, 1–2 minutes more.
Step 5
Slide the melted cheese onto a warm plate. Arrange chips and salsa alongside.
Step 6
Squeeze lime over the cheese if desired. Serve immediately while hot and stretchy.
