Approximate timings for this editorial recipe proposal, which has not been kitchen-tested. Adjust cooking to your ingredients and equipment.
- 4 wheat tortillas, about 20 cm
- 200 g drained shredded or crumbled mozzarella
- 300 g tomato
- 80 g sliced cured ham
- Pepper to taste
Step-by-step method
- Wash and dry the tomato. Remove stalks, slice thinly and leave excess juice aside. Divide cheese, tomato and ham into four portions.
- Heat one tortilla in a dry pan over medium-low heat. Add its mozzarella portion and briefly cover to melt, about 1–2 minutes. Also follow the pack’s heating directions and avoid burning the base.
- Move to a plate, add tomato and ham, pepper if liked and fold in half. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and serve immediately without reheating the ham.
