Method

  1. Put the cheese in the jar, tuck in the chilli strips and herb sprigs, then add the spices, chopped chilli and dried oregano. Pour in enough oil to cover the cheese. Tap the jar on the work surface to eliminate any air bubbles, then screw on the lid and turn the jar to mix the oil and flavourings. Set aside in a cool place like a pantry or the fridge for 3-7 days to marinate.
  2. To serve, fry the tortillas in a non-stick pan with a little oil, then set aside on kitchen paper to drain. Top each with a slice or two of avocado, crushed with a fork and seasoned with salt and a squeeze of lime juice. Add some cheese and sliced red onion, then drizzle with a little oil from the jar and serve with lime wedges. Use the remaining cheese in salads or stir into rice or pasta.
