1
Cook chicken with taco seasoning in a lightly oiled pan until golden and cooked through. Rest, then slice.
2
Sauté bell pepper and onion in the same pan until slightly charred at the edges.
3
Mix both cheeses together — cheddar for flavour, mozzarella for the dramatic cheese pull.
4
Butter a clean pan on medium heat. Lay a tortilla, spread cheese, chicken, vegetables, more cheese, then fold or top with a second tortilla.
5
Cook 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until deep golden and molten inside.
6
Rest 1 minute (the cheese is lava), cut into wedges and serve with salsa and sour cream.

Chef's tip

Cheese on both the bottom and top of the filling acts as glue — it stops the wedges from falling apart when lifted.
