Method

  1. Cook a mixture of shredded cheese and red sauce in a cast iron skillet until melted and bubbly.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Cheese is melted and bubbling. Spread the mixture evenly in the skillet.

  2. Place a flour tortilla on top of the cheese mixture, pressing it down to cover the sauce.

  3. Flip the tortilla to reveal the cooked cheese and sauce side, forming a crispy base.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The tortilla has a crisp cheese coating. Flip carefully to keep the crisp base intact.

  4. In a bowl, combine diced avocado, chopped green herbs, shredded white cabbage, and squeeze lime juice over the mixture.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The cabbage and herbs are evenly coated with lime. Dice the avocado just before mixing to limit browning.
