Step 1
Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat for 1 minute until the pan is warm.
Step 2
Scatter half the shredded Oaxaca cheese across the skillet in a thin, even layer.
Step 3
Layer jalapeño slices, half the onion, and epazote leaves over the cheese.
Step 4
Top with remaining cheese. Cover the skillet and cook over medium heat for 6-8 minutes.
Step 5
Uncover. The cheese should be melted, pooling, and just starting to brown at edges.
Step 6
Slide the whole skillet to the table. Scoop onto warm tortillas with a spoon. Squeeze lime over the top.
