Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

How to Make Creamy Cheese Tortillas

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the softened cream cheese and milk. Stir until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and black pepper to the mixture, continuing to stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is well combined. Remove from heat.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, place one tortilla in the skillet, allowing it to warm for about 30 seconds.
4. Spread a generous amount of the creamy cheese sauce over half of the tortilla, then fold it over to create a half-moon shape.
5. Cook the folded tortilla for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
6. Once cooked, remove the tortillas from the skillet and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
• Don’t rush the melting process; keep the heat moderate to prevent burning the cheese sauce.
• Feel free to adjust the seasoning by adding garlic powder or chili powder for extra flavor.

Easy Variations

• For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce to the cheese sauce.
• Incorporate sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or onions for added nutrition and flavor.
• Try using different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack, for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh side salad with a citrus vinaigrette.
• Sliced avocado or guacamole for added creaminess.
• Salsa or pico de gallo for a refreshing contrast.
• A bowl of black beans or refried beans for a heartier meal.
