"This is yummy. My wife wanted a snack one late night and because of a lack of ingredients, I had to improvise. Makes a tasty quick snack! Try it with broccoli or grilled chicken strips."

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 1 flour tortilla
• 1⁄2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon basil leaves
• 1⁄2 teaspoon oregano leaves
• 1⁄4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1⁄4 cup tomato sauce (optional)
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

directions

1. Heat a large skillet on medium-high.
2. Add olive oil.
3. When skillet is heated, put tortilla in pan (make sure to move tortilla around in pan to spread out oil, if it stays in one place).
4. Add mozzarella cheese, then herbs, spices and optional ingredients to one half of tortilla.
5. Fold tortilla over onto ingredients.
6. Use a lid from a large pot or skillet to cover (helps to melt cheese faster).
7. Cook for about 30-45 seconds, or until tortilla starts to get light brown spots.
8. Flip tortilla, cover and cook for an additional 30-45 seconds, also until light brown spots.
9. Serve hot.

***Update*** We add about a half cup of ground beef to this for a heartier meal and use marinara sauce in place of the tomato sauce and spices. Quick, easy and tasty! ***Original Review*** Super easy to make and very yummy. My boyfriend keeps asking for this over and over. Thanks!
