Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Large Flour Tortilla (about 10-12 inches)
- Filling Ingredients (e.g., Cheese, Cooked Chicken, Beans, Salsa, etc.) – Quantity as needed
Instructions
- Place the large flour tortilla on a clean surface or plate.
- Using a sharp knife, cut a straight line from the edge of the tortilla to the center, stopping at the middle point. Do not cut all the way through the center.
- Choose one quadrant (one section) of the tortilla to be your starting point for filling.
- Place your first filling ingredient onto that first quadrant only.
- Fold the edge of the first quadrant over the filling, covering it completely.
- Move to the next adjacent section and add your second filling ingredient.
- Fold this second section over the first folded section, ensuring the fillings stay tucked inside.
- Continue this process, adding a new filling to the next section and folding it over the previous one until all sections are filled and folded into a neat triangle shape.
- Place the folded tortilla seam-side down onto a preheated skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden brown and the fillings are hot and melted.
- Remove from heat, slice in half if desired, and enjoy this quick creation.
Notes
- Richard suggests making sure your fillings are already cooked or ready to eat since the cooking time is brief.
- The key is cutting only to the center point, allowing for four distinct sections for folding.
- You can press down gently with a spatula while cooking to help seal the folds.
