Tortilla Melts

Tortilla Melts

These were a hit when I recently made them for friends of mine. Leftovers (if you have any) reheat well.

3 tbsps. olive oil
1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 large portabello mushroom caps
1 small red onion
salt and pepper
6 small flour tortillas
3 tbsps. cream cheese, softened
3 tbsps. jarred pesto
1 large tomato, sliced
6 oz. mozzarella

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet.

In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsps of oil and vinegar. Slice the mushrooms & red onions & add to the bowl. Coat evenly with marinade. Spread on baking sheet & sprinkle with salt & pepper. Roast in overn until onions are softened & mushrooms are juicy, about 10 minutes. Reduce oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly brush 1 side of 2 tortillas with oil & place them oiled-side down on a baking sheet. Spread the top side of the tortillas with cream cheese. Pile roasted mushrooms & onions on the cream cheese. Spread pesto on 2 more tortillas & lay them on top of the onions. Top the pesto-covered tortillas with tomato & cheese slices. Place the last 2 tortillas on the stacks & brush the tops with oil.  Bake until the cheese is milted & the top & bottom tortillas are crisp, about 15 minutes.

Let the sandwiches cool for a minute or 2 before cutting into quarters.
