This is one of those “people are coming over in 10 minutes and I have no food to serve them” appetizers.
Or a “I really don’t feel like cooking tonight” entrees.
All you need is some tortillas, pesto and cheese. Dan likes it best with feta cheese, I preferred it with Parmesan and a touch of cheddar. I imagine it would also be delicious with goat cheese.
Just spread the pesto on half a tortilla, sprinkle with cheese and fold in half. Cook on the griddle or a panini press just like you would any other quesadilla.
Easy as that. Serve it with a salad or some other vegetable side for a light entree, or slice it up to pass as an appetizer. And you’re done!
Though this recipe calls for feta cheese, it also works well with grated Parmesan or creamy goat cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 6-inch ('fajita-sized') flour tortilla
- 2 tablespoons basil pesto
- 1/2 ounce feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Spread the pesto on half of the tortilla and top with the cheese.
- Pour the oil onto a griddle and heat over medium-low. Fold the tortilla in half and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned. Cut into halves or quarters.
i wish this was an option for lunch today. as in…. i wish this could be delivered to my office for lunch today.
If you get some pesto, tortillas and cheese and keep it in the work fridge, you can have it every day!
also, for some reason my computer has saved “thenyheathersaid” at gmail in the email spot instead of my ACTUAL email address, and I always forget to change it…. oops….
You know you’re going to make me end up buying like 10 basil plants now!
Sounds like a good number to me
These look SO GOOD!! As soon as I get some tortillas these are gonna be a dinner for sure. Oooh, and maybe with some added Garlic Gold? Or GG Oil instead of EVOO? YUM!
