WHICH MEXICAN CHEESE MELTS RECIPES

Steps:

• Sprinkle 1/2 c. of the cheese over each of 5 tortillas and top with the remaining tortillas, making "sandwiches." In a large skillet, heat 1/2 tsp. oil over medium heat. Place 1 tortilla sandwich in the skillet at a time and cook for 3 to 4 min, or possibly till the cheese is melted, turning halfway through the cooking. Remove to a covered platter and repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Cut each finished quesadilla into 4 wedges and serve. This recipe yields 5 melts. Comments: I like to serve these with lowfat sour cream, salsa, and sliced scallions. And for added cheese flavor, after turning the quesadillas, I brush the top of each one with an additional 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil then sprinkle with a tsp. of grated Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Put the cheese, tomatoes, chilli and coriander leaves into a bowl with some seasoning, then mix well.
• Warm tortillas in the microwave according to pack instructions – this makes them more bendable. Divide the cheese mix over one half of each tortilla. Fold over the other half to make 8 half-moons, then press down to seal.
• Brush the tops with a little oil, then sit, oil-side down, on a hot area of the barbecue. Cook for a couple of mins until crisp and golden, brush the uncooked side with oil, then flip over for another few mins. Slice into wedges, then pile onto a platter while you cook the rest.
