Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place 1 tortilla in the pan and sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese over half of it.
Step 2
Fold the tortilla over the cheese and press gently. Cook until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes per side, then transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas and cheese.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the diced tomato and chopped onion. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if you like.
Step 4
Top each taco with a spoonful of the tomato-onion mixture and a drizzle of salsa.
Step 5
Garnish each taco with a fresh basil leaf and serve warm.
