Mexican Garlic Bread (similar to Quesadillas)
Serves 1- unless you make more of them.
Ingredients:- grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese; about half a cup (can be low-fat)
- two flour tortillas (can be low-fat)
- tomato paste/pasta sauce, such as Paul Newman's or Barilla or Leggos
- 1 clove of garlic
- margarine or butter (margarine has less fat so it's better if you're health-conscious)
- salt
- pizza topper OR black pepper OR any of those other sprinkle-on garnishes/seasonings (Masterfoods has a really good range)
- parsley or basil if you want
Preheat a griller (or an oven, if you don't have a griller) but don't make it any less than 180 ºC (356 ºF).
Method:
1. Spread out one tortilla on a workbench, plate, tabletop or chopping board. Rub a clove of garlic over the surface of the entire tortilla.
2. Spread margarine or butter evenly, but not too thickly, over the surface facing upwards ONLY.
3. Spread tomato paste over the same surface. Sprinkle on a tiny bit of salt.
4. Sprinkle on the garnish/seasoning, topper or pepper. Add basil or parsley if you want.
5. Evenly sprinkle cheese all over the surface, making sure that none goes over the edges of the tortilla.
6. Place the other tortilla on top and press it down gently and evenly.
7. Place the whole thing in the oven or griller. Just watch it until you can see the cheese melting and the top turning slightly golden. It should take about 10-15 minutes.
8. EAT!!! (it's easiest to eat if you slice it up just like a pizza).
Hope you like it.
