Add the garlic, mustard, vinegar, jalapeno and salt and combine the mixture until creamy.

Add half the olive oil and stir to incorporate.

Add the Romaine lettuce leaves and coat them completely.

Add the remaining olive oil by pouring in a very patient, slow, steady stream to produce a smooth, creaminess to the salad.

Add the jack cheese and the grilled tortilla slices and toss the salad again to coat the greens evenly.
