For a richer flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese along with the Cheddar. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack, to customize the flavor. Serve with your favorite salsa, sour cream, or a dollop of guacamole for a complete and satisfying experience. If whole wheat tortillas are unavailable, you may substitute with other tortilla varieties, but the nutritional profile will change.
