​A crispy, cheesy vessel for fresh homemade guacamole.

Ingredients:

For the Guacamole:
1 ripe avocado
1 small tomato, diced
2 Tbsp red onion, finely diced
1–2 scallions, finely sliced
1–2 tsp fresh lemon juice (to taste)
Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Tortillas:

1–2 flour tortillas
½–1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favourite blend)

▪️Add diced tomato, red onion, scallions, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
▪️Mix well until combined.
▪️Set aside.

2. Cook the Tortilla
▪️Place a tortilla flat on a pan over medium heat.
▪️Sprinkle cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.
▪️Fold the tortilla in half.

3. Assemble
▪️Carefully open the tortilla.

4. Serve & Enjoy

Pro Tip: If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of chili flakes or some diced jalapeño to the guacamole before mixing!
