Instructions
1
Begin by prepping your ingredients. Chop the tomatoes and avocados, ensuring there is a roughly equal amount of each for the best balance of flavors. Adjust the quantity based on the size of your produce.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes and avocados with your favorite salsa, starting with 1/4 cup and adjusting according to your taste preferences.

To warm the tortillas, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, place a tortilla in the pan until it becomes pliable, then flip it over.

Sprinkle some Monterey Jack cheese (or vegan alternative) on the tortilla while it's still in the pan, allowing it to melt slightly.

Remove the tortilla from the pan and place it on a plate. Generously spread a layer of the avocado and tomato mix over the surface.
