2 cups Tomato Sauce for Folded Tortillas
1/3 cup oil
8 (6- to 7-inch) corn tortillas
1/2 cup , crumbled queso, fresco (Mexican fresh cheese) or grated panela cheese
1/2 medium white onion, very thinly sliced
chopped fresh cilantro

1. Prepare the tomato sauce and keep warm in a wide saucepan. Then, in a medium skillet, heat about 1/3 cup oil and using tongs, dip tortillas, 1 at a time in the hot oil until soft and hot, about 3 seconds. Drain and stack on paper towels.

2. Dip the softened tortillas, 1 at a time, in the warm tomato sauce. Fold into quarters to a triangle shape. Place 2 sauced and folded tortillas on each of 4 plates. Spoon about 3 more tablespoons of the sauce over each serving. Sprinkle each serving with cheese and garnish with onion and cilantro. Serve at once.
