No reviews

A quick, melty twist on the classic Caprese salad—this quesadilla layers fresh tomato, mozzarella, and basil between golden tortillas for a simple, satisfying meal or snack.

 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 4 basil leaves, julienned

Instructions

  • Heat a dry skillet over medium heat.
  • Place one tortilla in the pan.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the tortilla.
  • Layer half of the tomato slices over the cheese.
  • Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of cheese over the tomatoes.
  • Add half of the julienned basil leaves.
  • Top with a second tortilla and press gently.
  • Cook for about 3 minutes per side, until the tortilla is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
  • Repeat to make the second quesadilla.
  • Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

  • Pat tomato slices dry to prevent sogginess.
  • Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
  • Fresh mozzarella slices can be used instead of shredded cheese.
  • Best served immediately while crisp and melty.
