I think it's easier & neater to lay the tortilla in the pan flat, place the toppings then put another tortilla on top. After the cheese has melted some, turn the whole thing over and toast for a few more minutes. Cut into wedges with a pizza cutter and enjoy!

The directions say to fold over once. Wouldn''t the cheese run out when heated in pan for 2 to 3 min. on each side? ( It all sounds very good!)
