Ingredients

4 flour tortillas

1 cup grated pepper jack cheese

2 Serrano peppers, thinly sliced

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 cup prepared salsa

1/2 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Preheat a countertop panini-style grill . Alternatively, preheat a large, heavy grill pan over medium-low heat for 15 minutes. Lay tortillas on a flat surface and sprinkle ¼ cup of the cheese on the bottom half of each one, leaving space around the edges. Scatter peppers and cayenne evenly over cheese and fold over to form a half-circle. Cut the folded half in half, and brush both sides of tortillas with oil. Place on grill one at a time and lightly tamp down lid . Flip and rotate half-way through to achieve hatched, griddled marks . Serve immediately with salsa, sour cream and limes for passing.
