Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 12

Ingredients

3/4 cup Major Grey’s chutney
12 6-inch flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups sharp Cheddar cheese, grated on the large holes of a box grater
3/4 cup sour cream, for garnish
Tomatillo Salsa (recipe follows)

Tomatillo Salsa

1 1/2 pounds tomatillos, husks removed
1 jalapeño pepper
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
(makes 3 cups)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the grill. Using a spatula, spread 2 tablespoons of the chutney evenly over 6 tortillas. On each, sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese over the chutney; top with the remaining tortillas. Grill until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are slightly golden, about 2 minutes on each side. Using a sharp knife or scissors, cut each tortilla into 6 wedges. Serve with sour cream and salsa.

  2. Tomatillo Salsa

    Step 2

    Preheat the grill. Roast the tomatillos and jalapeño until soft and slightly charred, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. Remove the charred skin from the jalapeño. Halve the jalapeño lengthwise; remove the seeds. Chop finely, and set aside. Chop the tomatillos. Place them in a bowl, and add the jalapeño, onion, vinegar, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
