Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    In a small bowl, combine the diced tomato and chopped onion. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if you like.

  4. Step 4

    Top each taco with a spoonful of the tomato-onion mixture and a drizzle of salsa.

  5. Step 5

    Garnish each taco with a fresh basil leaf and serve warm.
