I had a little gardening to do this morning, after I leisurely enjoyed my coffee. The mint and basil are going crazy this year, right along with all the other herbs I grow. Once trimmed back I can't just throw them away, the flavors are divine and must be used...oh what to create today?
The mint went in a pitcher of water with a lime. Delicious and refreshing on a hot summer day!
The basil...makes me want pizza but I'm not in the mood to make a crust. What's a hungry girl to do? Improvise of course!!!
Corn tortillas
Olive oil
fresh tomatoes, sliced
fresh basil, sliced
salt
cheese
Garlic powder
I drizzled olive oil onto the corn tortillas, coating both sides and placed them on a cookie sheet under the broiler until they were sizzling. I turned them over and let the second side start to show a little color.
Dusted them with garlic powder. Arranged the tomato slices around, topped those with basil and a little salt then topped with just a little cheese to hold it all together. Back under the broiler for just a couple of minutes.
YUMMY!!!!
