Ingredients
- 4 Small Flour Tortillas
- 4 teaspoons Butter

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Place each of the small tortillas on a baking sheet. Spread 1 teaspoon butter on each tortilla. Place the baking sheet into the oven and let the tortillas toast for 5–7 minutes. Once the edges start to turn golden brown, remove from the oven.
Place 1/4 to 1/2 cup of cheese on each of the tortillas and place back into the oven for about 3 minutes until the cheese has completely melted. Remove from oven.
