    Seasoning can be adjusted to your preference. Covering helps the cheese melt faster and more evenly.

    While the cheese melts, heat a separate non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a tiny bit of olive oil and warm the small flour tortillas, one at a time, for about 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable, or slightly crisped if preferred.
