1 Avocado - sliced

Slice or Cubed Crunchy Vegetables (Lettuce/Bell Peppers/Cucumbers/Radishes/Carrots)

1 Sliced Jalapeno - optional

Mayonnaise

Method

1. Heat your frying pan at a low temperature and lightly cook your frozen tortillas till they're soft. Usually, frozen tortillas are already cooked, so don't leave them in the frying pan for too long.

2. Layer your warmed tortilla onto a plate and start layering the ingredients. This can change depending on what you're craving and also what you have available. Smear your mayonnaise or any sauce onto your tortilla and begin to layer the shredded meat in the middle, topped with the sliced avocados, crunchy vegetables, sliced jalapenos, and cheese.

3. Garnish with fresh cilantro if you like the taste. Finally, lightly squeeze some lime/lemon juice over everything, fold the tortilla closed, before enjoying.
