Once I had the meat in a nice rectangular I added the cheese, sliced avocado and jalapeño in the middle and with the help of the plastic paper I simply folded the meat in half and pressed the edges.
After that you simply place it in a baking dish or aluminum paper in a baking tray and bake! Once baked you just add your toppings, optional, and finally you just cut it!
