2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, minced

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup cider vinegar

2 to 3 Fresno chiles, sliced into rings
One 8-ounce bag or 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
