Directions
- For the onions, heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the oil and the onions, sprinkle lightly with Maine Sea Salt and ground Black Peppercorns.

- For the tortillas, have a foil lined baking pan ready. Heat a grill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat.

- Arrange four of the toasted tortillas on the foil lined sheet pan.
- Divide half of the cheese over the tortillas. Divide the onions over the cheese and top with the remaining cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper. Top with the remaining tortillas and press down on them to compress.
- For the chipotle cream, stir together the sour cream, chipotle puree, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a good grinding of pepper.
- Taste for seasoning and add the minced cilantro.
- Bake in a pre-heated 425 degree F. oven for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and heated through.
- Remove from the oven and immediately cut into 6 pieces.
