Tomato and Mozzarella Quesadillas with Basil
Tomato and Mozzarella Quesadillas with Basil
- 8 8-inch flour tortillas
- 12 ounces grated or sliced mozzarella
- 2 tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- ½ teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bunch fresh basil, leaves picked
- ¼ cup pine nuts, toasted
- 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Heat grill to medium. Place 4 of the tortillas on a cutting board and top with the mozzarella and tomatoes, leaving a 1-inch border.
Season with ½ teaspoon of the salt and the pepper and top with the remaining tortillas.
In a medium bowl, combine the basil, pine nuts, oil, and remaining salt; set aside.
Cook the quesadillas around the perimeter of the grill until the cheese melts and the tortillas are crisp and golden, about 2 minutes per side.
Immediately cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with the basil salad.
