Ingredients
1
clove
garlic
peeled
4
six-inch tortillas
I used whole wheat
1
tomato
thinly sliced (I used my mandolin slicer)
12
large
sweet basil leaves
torn
½
cup
shredded mozzarella
salt
pepper
Instructions
Take the clove of garlic, cut to expose the center then rub the exposed center on one surface of all the tortillas.
Lay two tortillas flat (the sides rubbed with garlic on top).
Divide the tomato slices, basil and mozzarella between them.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Top with the remaining two tortillas, garlic-rubbed sides touching the filling (that’s two sandwiches!).
Grill on an oil-free skillet until heated through and the cheese melts, turning to brown both the top and bottom tortillas.
Cut into quarters and serve immediately.
