Preparation

  1. Lay a tortilla on a work surface and crumble one slice of goat cheese over it. Top with 1/2 cup of either pork or vegetables or both, sprinkle with scallions and crumble one more slice of cheese over the top. Cover with another tortilla and press down lightly. Continue until all 12 tortillas are used.
  2. Place a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, and cook a tortilla until lightly browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook the other side until it’s browned and the cheese is melting. Transfer to a platter and keep warm. Add more oil if necessary and continue until all tortillas are cooked.
  3. When ready to serve, slice the tortillas into wedges, sprinkle with cilantro and serve with the salsa and sour cream on the side.
