Ingredients

Method

  1. Pat tomato slices dry. Spread pesto over two tortillas, then add mozzarella and tomato. Cover each with another tortilla.
  2. Lightly oil a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook one quesadilla at a time for 2–3 minutes per side until crisp and cheese melts.
  3. Rest for 1 minute, then cut into wedges.
A little note

Use a spatula under the whole quesadilla to make flipping easier.

Cooking tips

  • Pat tomato slices dry and use an even layer of filling so the quesadilla turns without spilling.
  • Keep heat moderate so the mozzarella melts before the tortilla becomes too dark.
