Ingredients

4 large Flour tortillas
1 cup Kimchi
1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
3 Scallions
2 tbsp Butter
2 tbsp Gochujang or sriracha(optional)
1 tsp Sesame seeds(optional)

Instructions

1
Drain the kimchi and chop into bite-sized pieces; thinly slice the scallions (10 minutes prep total).

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Butter one tortilla, place it butter-side down, and sprinkle with half the cheese, kimchi, scallions, and drizzle with gochujang if using.

Top with remaining cheese and a second tortilla, buttering its top side. Cook 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy, then flip carefully and cook another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Slice into wedges, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve hot.
