Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 4 tortilla (2-per person)
  • ¾ cup grated hot pepper cheese
  • 1 avacodo
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 shallot or onion
  • 1 small jalapeño – scrape seeds and veins (if you are wimpy like me)
  • 1 lemon or lime – (lime is more traditional, but I have lemons)
  • A handful of greens per person – shredded
  • olive oil - lemon juice (2:1 ratio)
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Mise en place ~ Gather your ingredients
  2. Wash all vegetables
  3. Dice tomatoes
  4. Fine dice onion – I give my onions a quick soak in ice water to mellow the raw taste.
  5. Fine dice jalapeño – the heat is in the veins and seeds – you are the boss.
  6. Dice avocado – add lemon or lime to keep it from turning brown
  7. Shred lettuce
  8. Add olive oil and lemon juice (2:1 ratio)
  9. Heat skillet (I use and iron skillet)
  10. Place tortilla in skillet to warm
  11. Turn and sprinkle hot pepper cheese
  12. Fold in half
  13. When warm and starting to brown flip, and brown slightly the other side
  14. Continue until all tortillas are finished.
  15. Use a sharp knife to cut in pie shaped pieces.
  16. I used my pizza cutter.
  17. Place lettuce down in middle of plate
  18. Top with tomato salsa
  19. Top salsa with avocado
Notes
A dollop of Greek yogurt and a dash of hot sauce are good if you have it on hand. I did not. It was still tasty. Ice tea and if you have room a little bit of icebox cake balances out lunch.
