1.) Heat sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
2.) Mix the Monterey Jack cheese and Gouda cheese together. Set aside.
3.) Place Mission® flour tortilla leaves in the hot oil. Top each leaf with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture and top with another leaf cutout. Cook for 1 minute or until golden. Press lightly. Flip the tortilla leaves over and brown the other side. Drain on paper towels and keep warm. Repeat until all cutouts have been "sandwiched" adding oil as needed.
