Equipment
Large Cast Iron Skillet
Ingredients
4
medium flour tortillas
1/2
cup
low moisture mozzarella cheese
2
tablespoon
pesto sauce
2
tablespoons
sun dried tomatoes
, chopped
2
tablespoons
vegetable oil
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon pesto sauce on two tortillas. On the remaining two tortillas, evenly divide cheese and sun dried tomatoes.
When oil is hot, place on cheese covered tortilla, cheese side up, in the skillet. Top with a pesto smothered tortilla.
Cook until lightly browned and cheese started to melt to hold together the two pieces, approximately 2 minutes.
Flip and allow the other side to brown, which generally takes less time, about 1 minute.
Remove to a cutting board and cut into fourths.
Add additional 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and repeat with remaining tortillas.
