½ tsp Kosher salt
½ tsp Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions
- Combine the jalapeños, diced onion, cilantro, oregano, salt and pepper in a small bowl and toss to combine. Add the lime juice and olive oil and toss to coat.
- Lay out the flour tortillas on the counter. Divide the cheese between the flour tortillas, arranging the pieces on one half. Scatter the green grapes over the halves evenly and then top with the jalapeño mixture. Season each with a little paprika and a little salt.
- Fold each tortilla in half to make a half moon and brush with a little canola oil.
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and then cook the tortillas for 3 to 4 minutes, turning once, until they’re crispy and the cheese is starting to melt.
- Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
