# Recipe Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Uses everyday fridge and pantry ingredients
  • Cooks up in under 20 minutes from start to finish
  • Perfect balance of creamy spicy and crunchy
  • Easy to customize for mild or spicy tastes
  • Nobody can eat just one and they taste just as good reheated
02 -
  • High in protein and calcium
  • Can be made ahead and reheated easily
  • Freezes beautifully for last minute snacks
03 -
  • Shred cheese yourself for the best melt and flavor Pre shredded bags save time but do not stretch as well as fresh
  • Let cream cheese come to room temp so it blends smoothly with jalapeños otherwise filling will be lumpy
  • Press the edges tightly when folding so the filling stays inside the tortilla and does not leak in the pan
