Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for tortillas with quesillo.

Show the ingredients: corn tortillas, quesillo, black beans, sour cream, salsa de tomate, cilantro, lime, salt, garlic, onion, green chili, and tomato.

Preheat a pot with 2 teaspoons of oil.

Add minced garlic to the pot and sauté.

Add chopped green chili, onion, and tomato to the pot and sauté until fragrant.

Pour in half a can of salsa de tomate and add half a can of water, stirring to combine.

Season the mixture with salt to taste and let it simmer.

Cut the quesillo cheese into small pieces suitable for the tortillas.

Begin frying the corn tortillas in the hot oil, cooking 2-3 at a time until they are pliable but not overly crispy.

Prepare the chimol by mixing chopped tomato, onion, green chili, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl.

Let the chimol sit to allow the flavors to meld and the onion to lose its strong flavor.

Once the tortillas are fried, place a piece of quesillo on each tortilla, followed by a spoonful of black beans, a drizzle of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.

Top with chimol and additional cilantro if desired.

Serve immediately while warm.
