This rich and gooey appetizer is great for parties. Use asadero cheese (made in West Texas), queso quesadilla, Chihuahua cheese, or even mozzarella or provolone. Serve warm from the oven, and use a spoon to scoop it into fresh corn or flour tortillas. Garnish with a spoonful of your favorite red or green salsa if you like. Recipe Source: Relish Mag

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
fresh corn tortillas or flour tortilla, as needed

Steps:
