Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

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)

03

Step
3 mins

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)

04

Step
3 mins

Toasting Perfection: Carefully place the folded quesadillas into the toaster slots. Set the toaster to a medium heat setting. Toast for approximately 3 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy. (3 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Final Toast: Carefully remove the quesadillas from the toaster. Flip them around in the slots to ensure even toasting. Toast for an additional 2 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning. (2 minutes)

06

Step
1 mins

Serve Immediately: Once toasted to perfection, carefully remove the Turkey-Pesto Toasterdillas from the toaster. Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, melty cheese and crispy tortilla. (1 minute)

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.
