Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 3 - fresh green chilies minced
- 1 - large onion finely chopped
- 2 - tomatoes skinned, chopped
- 1 bunches - fresh coriander chopped
- - coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pounds - Monterey Jack cheese
- 3/4 cups - light olive or peanut oil for dipping / frying
- 16 - tortillas
Directions:
Put chilies, onion, tomatoes, coriander and salt and pepper in a small serving bowl and mix thoroughly. Set aside.
Slice cheese into thin 2-inch-long pieces.
Pour oil into a flat pan or shallow bowl big enough to dip a tortilla into it.
When coals of barbecue grill are glowing, dip a tortilla into oil, coating it lightly, and fold tortilla over a slice of cheese. Place it on a rack over coals, taking care not to break tortilla in half. If necessary, hold upper side down with a fork a few seconds so tortilla doesn't open flat. Cook 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden.
(Note: this recipe can be made indoors by heating oil in a skillet and frying tortillas until golden.)
Serve at once, spooning a little chili-tomato relish on top of each tortilla as it is served.
