Ingredients:

Serving

8 8- inch flour tortillas
12 oz grated or sliced mozzarella
2 tomatoes , cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/2 tsp plus 1/8 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch fresh basil , leaves picked
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
4 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

Directions:

Heat grill to medium. Arrange 4 of the tortillas on a cutting board. Arrange the mozzarella and tomatoes on the tortillas, leaving a 1-inch border empty. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper and top with the remaining tortillas. In a medium bowl, combine the basil, pine nuts, oil, and the remaining salt; set aside. Cook the quesadillas around the perimeter of the grill until the cheese melts and the tortillas are crisp and golden, about 2 minutes per side. Immediately cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with the basil salad.Tip: Instead of grilling the quesadillas, try broiling them. Arrange them on a baking sheet and broil, turning once, until the cheese melts and the tortillas are golden brown.
