Tips and Notes
- Use Non-Stick Spray: This helps prevent sticking and makes flipping easier.
- Watch Your Heat: Keep your skillet at medium to avoid burning the tortilla before the cheese melts.
- Experiment with Fillings: Don’t be afraid to throw in different ingredients. Black beans, jalapeños, or even diced chicken all work great!
- Cut While Hot: This ensures cleaner slices and maximizes meltiness.
