Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

  6. Arrange the tortilla rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Top each tortilla round with shredded cheddar cheese and a spoonful of the pork mixture.
  8. Bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the tortillas are warm and slightly crisp around the edges.
  9. Remove from the oven and carefully fold each tortilla in half while still warm.
  10. Drizzle with warm cheese sauce and top with diced bell pepper and sliced green onions.
  11. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Notes & Pro Tips

  • Fold the tortillas while they are still warm to prevent cracking.
  • A sharp cheddar adds the most flavor, but Monterey Jack also works well.
  • The pork filling can be prepared a day ahead and reheated before assembling.
  • For extra heat, add finely sliced red chili or jalapeños.
  • Serve immediately after topping for the crispiest texture.
