4 flour tortillas
1/2 c. shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
4 oz. chopped green chilies, no seeds
1 tomato, diced
2 green onions, chopped
Cooking oil or lard

Lay tortilla on working surface. Dip your hand in water, pat tortilla lightly, repeating until the top side is quite moist. Place 2 tablespoons cheese on top, which would be 1/4 the total amount. Put 1/4 green chilies, 1/4 tomato and 1/4 onions over top of cheese. Fold tortilla over and fasten with a toothpick as though you were pinning it closed with a straight pin.

Fry in hot fat at least 1/2 inch deep. Turn often. Press edges together as it fries. Brown both sides. Repeat with other 3 tortillas. Serve hot. May be topped with guacamole sauce. Makes 4 appetizers.

Variation: Bake in 350 degree oven until cheese is melted. Cut in pie-shaped wedges to serve. Great finger food.
