Among the foods that are easy sells in our house, cheese, tomatoes and tortillas all rank high in the top ten. Summer is here and between the juicy heirloom tomatoes now appearing all over our local farmer's market (so sweet they taste like candy) and the aromatic, fresh basil growing like a weed in our garden, that can only mean one thing: Caprese Quesadillas are going to be in heavy mealtime rotation!
I love a caprese sandwich, which is mozzarella, tomato, basil and just a dash of olive oil, normally on Italian bread. For kids though, caprese sandwiches can be tough to eat because the mozzarella tends to fall out, making the whole sandwich eating thing somewhat frustrating. But that's no reason to deprive your kids of great Caprese. By simply substituting tortillas for the bread and adding a little heat to melt the cheese, you've got the great taste of caprese in an easy-to-hold, kid-friendly format. It's a blend of two great cuisines that come together beautifully.
