Ingredients
- 2 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 lime, for zesting and juicing

Instructions
- Preheat your broiler.
- Brush both sides of the tortillas with vegetable oil and sprinkle lightly with kosher salt.
- Warm a large skillet over medium heat and cook each tortilla until golden brown on both sides.
- Meanwhile, mix sour cream, lime zest, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Transfer to a squeeze bottle or resealable bag with a snipped corner for drizzling.
- Place toasted tortillas on a baking sheet and top evenly with Cheddar cheese. Work in batches if needed.
- Broil until cheese melts, bubbles, and turns golden, 1-2 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning!
