Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup basil pesto

1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped

1/4 cup black olives, sliced

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Olive oil for brushing

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

      Prepare the Tortillas:

        On a clean cutting board, lay out one flour tortilla. Lightly brush one side with olive oil, then flip it over so the oiled side is facing down.

          Layer the Ingredients:

            Spread about 2 tablespoons of basil pesto evenly over the surface of the tortilla. Sprinkle a mixture of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese (about 1/4 cup total) evenly on top. Add a few pieces of sun-dried tomatoes and some black olives, then sprinkle with garlic powder and red pepper flakes if using.

              Fold and Cut:

                Carefully fold the tortilla into quarters, forming a triangle. Press it gently to ensure the filling stays inside. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.

                  Bake the Tortilla Bites:

                    Place the folded tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil to promote golden-brown crispiness.

                      Bake:

                        Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                          Serve:

                            Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before slicing each triangle in half for bite-size portions. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

                              Enjoy:

                                Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or snack, perfect for parties or cozy evenings in.
