Tomato Basil Cheese Quesadillas Recipes

TOMATO AND CHEESE QUESADILLA

A very easy to make lunch. If following a gluten free diet ensure gluten-free corn tortillas are used. You can make these in your frypan or flat sandwich toaster (the type that does not cut your bread). You can also add cooked shredded chicken, ham, avocado,onion, capsicums/peppers, herbs, salsa, chilli sauce-basically any ingredients that you would like in a toasted sandwich.

Steps:

Place one tortilla on a plate.
Spread the sliced tomato over the tortilla and then the shredded cheese. I usually leave 1 inch around the edges of the tortilla free as it tends to spread when being cooked and cut.
Top with the remaining tortilla.
Place onto a lightly cooking oil sprayed frypan or sandwich toaster. If using the frypan you will need to flip over the quesadilla after a couple of minutes.
Once the filling has warmed and the tortillas lightly toasted-it's done.
Wait a minute and then carefully slice through and enjoy.

Ingredients

2 corn tortillas or 2 wheat flour tortillas
1/4 cup shredded cheese
1 sliced tomatoes

GRILLED CAPRESE QUESADILLAS

Here's a quick and easy summer lunch that makes great use of garden-grown tomatoes. Feel free to swap in mozzarella or feta for the goat cheese, or make your quesadillas heartier by adding grilled chicken. -Amy Mongiovi, Lititz, Pennsylvania
