Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 small tortillas corn or flour, depending on preference
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
- 1 large ripe tomato sliced
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze
Instructions
Prepare Your Ingredients
- Start by washing the tomato and basil leaves thoroughly. Slice the tomato into thin rounds and slice the fresh mozzarella into pieces approximately the same size as your tortilla base.
- Having everything ready before cooking speeds up the process.
Heat the Tortillas
- Place each tortilla on a dry skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Warm each side for about 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted and slightly crispy.
- This step ensures a sturdy base for your toppings that won’t get soggy.
Assemble Your Caprese Tortilla Pizzas
- Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over each warmed tortilla. Layer the slices of fresh mozzarella evenly over the tortilla, followed by the tomato slices.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
Add Fresh Basil
- Top each pizza with fresh basil leaves. The basil adds a burst of herbal aroma that complements the creamy cheese and juicy tomatoes perfectly.
Final Touches and Serve
- Drizzle each pizza with balsamic glaze to add a subtle sweetness and tang. Serve immediately while the cheese is soft and melty against the crispy tortilla.
- Enjoy warm or at room temperature for a light meal or appetizer.
Equipment
- Skillet
- Frying Pan
Notes
- Use thin, small tortillas for a crispier base and better texture.
- Warm tortillas before adding toppings to prevent sogginess.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat gently.
