Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 large wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup frozen popcorn, thawed
  • 0.5 cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • Half a small avocado, diced

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon ground ancho pepper
  • 1/4 cup store-bought salsa
  • 1/4 tbsp. store bought salsa verde

Preparation:

  1. Place the skillet over medium heat. Spread half the mayonnaise on one of the tortillas and place it in the hot skillet, mayonnaise side down.
  2. Sprinkle with half the Monterey Jack cheese. Add corn, cotija, avocado, jalapeño, and cilantro. Sprinkle with ancho powder and the remaining Monterey Jack.
