Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella cheese. Cook until the cheeses are melted and well combined, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Season the cheese mixture with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or in the microwave until they are pliable, making them easier to roll.
- Divide the cheesy garlic mixture evenly among the warm tortillas, spreading it out in the center.
- Generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of the cheese mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
- Carefully fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll them up tightly to form burritos.
- Return the burritos to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot with your favorite salsa or guacamole for dipping, and enjoy!
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the cheese mixture.
- Substitute whole wheat or corn tortillas for a healthier option.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations, such as feta or goat cheese, for unique flavors.
