Preparation
Step 1
Heat 1 teaspoon butter or oil in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Lay the tortilla flat in the pan, and place a chunk of Oaxaca cheese (I use about a 2-inch long strip) on one half of the tortilla, topped with an epazote leaf or two.
Step 3
Sauté for 30 seconds or so, until the cheese begins to melt. Then fold the (non-cheese) half of the tortilla over to form a little folded pocket. Sauté for an extra 30 seconds or so per side, flipping once, until the tortilla is lightly browned and the cheese is completely melted. (
Step 4
Transfer to a serving plate and serve immediately with your favorite salsa.
