Cook the tortilla for approximately 2 minutes on each side until it is golden brown, then spread 1/4 cup of picadillo onto one half of the tortilla.

Sprinkle cheese over the picadillo, followed by half of the pico de gallo. Fold the tortilla in half and gently press down with a spatula. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until the cheese is fully melted and the tortilla achieves a crispy texture.
