Small Things That Help

• Grate the cheese yourself for a smoother melt.
• Do not overfill: a thin layer cooks through faster.
• Use a small trivet on top if the tortilla lifts.

Ingredient Swaps

• Out of spring onion? A small regular onion, finely sliced, or a few chives stirred in at the end both cover the job.

The Numbers per Serving

Per serving, calculated from the ingredient list with USDA FoodData Central figures (SR Legacy). A calculation, not a laboratory analysis: brands, cuts and how you measure change the real numbers. How the figures are worked out.
