Ingredients

4 soft flour tortillas

4 ounces Gruyere cheese, thinly sliced

handful of fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped

butter

optional: ready-cooked rotisserie chicken breast, chopped

Directions

Heat frying pan over medium heat.

Lightly butter one side of one tortilla and place in pan - buttered side down.

Quickly arrange half the Gruyere slices and basil on top of the tortilla.

Optional: Add half the chopped chicken if you want. Makes this more of a meal than a snack. I usually use leftover rotisserie chicken from the previous night's meal.

Lightly butter one side of a second tortilla and place on top to make a sandwich - buttered side up.

When the bottom tortilla is looking golden and crispy (should be close by the time you add the tortilla on top), use a spatula to flip the whole thing over.

Cook a few minutes until the new bottom tortilla is also golden and crispy.

Slide the whole thing onto a chopping board or plate and let it rest while you make the second one.

Cut into wedges (I use a pizza cutter) and serve immediately.

Refrigerate leftovers and enjoy for lunch! I like to eat the leftovers cold, but I suppose you could just reheat in a microwave.
