Place the tortillas on a cutting board and cut each one in half.
Add about 2 tablespoons of the shredded cheese into each half of the tortilla.
Add about 1/2 cup of the meat mixture over the top of the cheese.
Fold the tortilla sides over forming a triangle and place them into a prepared 12 inch skillet or pie dish.
Brush the melted garlic butter over the top of the tortillas.

Notes
You want to use a jarred salsa; fresh salsa usually contains more water.
Ground turkey or chicken will also work.
