Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Dice the 3 tomatoes and 1/2 onion into small pieces and place in a bowl. Chop the 1/4 cup cilantro and add to the bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the tomato mixture, add the 1/2 teaspoon salt, and stir to combine. Set the salsa aside to let the flavors meld.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Warm the 8 tortillas one at a time for about 30 seconds per side, until they are soft and pliable with light brown spots.

  4. Step 4

    Keep the warm tortillas stacked on a plate, covered with a clean kitchen towel to stay soft.

  5. Step 5

    To serve, place a generous sprinkle of the 1 cup crumbled cheese onto each tortilla, then spoon the salsa over the cheese.

  6. Step 6

    Fold the tortillas in half and serve immediately, with extra salsa on the side if desired.
