- In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
