Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 round cheddar cheese slice

Instructions

  • Drizzle olive oil in a nonstick frying pan and heat over medium heat.
  • Place one round piece of cheese into the pan and heat the cheese wrap until it begins to bubble and brown around the edges. It will start to melt immediately, but it will take around 4-5 minutes to get nice and crispy.
  • Remove the pan from heat and let the crispy cheese tortilla cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes. As it cools it will harden even more.
  • Carefully remove the crispy cheese tortilla from the pan with a spatula and set it on a plate. 
  • If you are planning on keeping the tortilla flat, leave the tortilla on the plate. If you would like to make a 'hard shell taco' shape, drape the cheese tortilla over the end of a wooden spoon so the sides are hanging on each side of the spoon (upside down).
