For best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Adjust toasting time based on your toaster's settings. Keep a close watch to prevent burning. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses and meats to customize your Toasterdilla. A little bit of butter or oil can brush on the outside before toasting can help brown the tortilla and add extra flavor. Serve with a side of marinara or balsamic glaze for dipping.

Follow The Directions

Prepare the Tortillas: Lay the tortillas on a clean work surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of pesto evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border to prevent spillage. (2 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
Layer the Cheese and Turkey: Gently peel the mozzarella string cheese into thin, even layers. Distribute the cheese evenly over the pesto-covered tortillas, creating a single, consistent layer. Place 1 slice of thinly sliced smoked turkey breast over the cheese on each tortilla. (3 minutes)

Folding Technique: Fold each tortilla in half to form a half-moon shape. Press down gently to flatten. Fold the right half of the half-moon towards the middle, and then fold the left half over to meet it, creating a compact envelope shape. Press again to ensure the layers adhere together. (3 minutes)
