A pan-fried or broiled, flour tortilla, which is filled with cheese and a combination of ingredients that may include meat, beans, salsa, black olives, peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, or other vegetables. It is often served with a topping of guacamole sauce, sour cream, or salsa. To prepare, a round tortilla is fried or broiled on both sides and then the various ingredients are spread over the open tortilla. The tortilla is folded in half, cooked a little longer to heat and/or melt the ingredients. When ready, the tortilla can be served as a half-round folded wrap or cut into sections by making two or three single cuts to form individual triangular-shaped servings.
