2-3 Tbsp melted butter or vegetable oil
TOPPINGS
guacamole

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and set aside. Combine Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses in a small bowl.
Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave until soft and pliable, about 20-25 seconds.
