Ingredients

  • 4 corn tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 4 oz of cream cheese soft
  • 3 green onions
  • 100 g of shredded old cheddar cheese
  • 5 jalapeños

Instructions

  • Roast the jalapeños on the gas stove.
  • Place jalapeños in a paper bag for 10 minutes to help steam off the skin.
  • Chop the green onions.
  • Mix the green onions with the cream cheese. To make this easier, it's best if the cream cheese is soft.
  • Scrape off the sink on the jalapeños and deseed - cut each one in half.
  • Butter the tortillas and lay it butter side down on parchment paper.
  • Spread the cream cheese and onion mix on one tortilla (not the butter side).
  • Top one side with 5 halves of the pepper.
  • Lay them out flat in a pan.
  • Top with shredded cheese.
  • Cover with the other buttered tortilla.
  • Keep an eye on it and watch until the cheese is nice and melty.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes per side - or until the cheese is starting to melt.
  • Eat and enjoy!
