1/2 teaspoon ground oregano (use Mexican oregano if available)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

10 slices mild cheddar cheese (approximately 1/8" x 3/4" x 3")
10 corn tortillas

This is some good texmex food with a good amount of spice but also well balanced overall flavors. I think I might try this again and add some cooked and drained ground beef to the filling or the "gravy".
