I loved the ease of the preparation as well as the reward of how good it tasted. It's always a plus when everyone else enjoys it too. It reminds me of a quesadilla which can easily be adapted to your families likes / tastes.
Want to try this recipe yourself? This is what you will need...
1 Tbs EVOO
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 pinches red pepper flakes
1 15-ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes, drained
1/4 tsp dried oregano
salt and black pepper
8 8-inch flour tortillas
1 lb ball smoked mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh basil - about 20 leaves, torn or shredded
 |
| Slicing the cheese - this took me the most amount of time. |
 |
| Doesn't this sauce look delish? |
 |
| One pizza-dilla cooking away. |
 |
| Close up of the yumminess. |
Due to cooking one at a time, I placed a tray in the oven on warm and then kept the completed pizza-dillas on that tray until they were all complete. They cook quickly enough that it doesn't take too long.
How would you adapt this? What kind of -dilla would you create?
I have made these before - but I used regular mozz cheese, b/c that is what I had in the house. They were good, but for me, it could not be the only thing that was served at dinner...it is more of a side dish. Very tasty though - and maybe I should try it with the smoked mozz cheese - I am sure that it make a difference!
ReplyDeleteThey could totally work as a side dish but served our family as dinner. In fact, we had leftovers! They were so filling, I couldn't even finish a whole one myself!
