Ingredients

Corn tortillas
8
Shredded cheese (such as Oaxaca or Monterey Jack)
2 cups
Cooked chicken, beef, or pork (shredded)
2 cups
Cilantro
1/2 cup, chopped
Sour cream

1 cup
Salsa (of your choice)
1 cup
Lime wedges
for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Take one tortilla and place it on the griddle. Sprinkle a generous handful of shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla.
  3. Add a layer of your choice of shredded chicken, beef, or pork on top of the cheese, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
  4. Top with another tortilla and press down gently to help the cheese stick.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla turns crispy and the cheese is beautifully melted.
  6. Carefully flip the mulita and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
  7. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
  8. Once cooked, cut the mulitas into quarters and serve immediately with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges.
