Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried basil)

1 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

Olive oil, for brushing

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and fresh basil. Stir the ingredients together until thoroughly mixed, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.

    Preheat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet or a cast-iron skillet on the stove and heat it over medium heat. While the skillet warms up, you can prepare the tortillas.

      Fill the Tortillas: On a clean surface, lay one tortilla flat. Take approximately 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture and spread it evenly over one half of the tortilla, leaving the other half free for folding. Gently fold the tortilla in half, pressing down lightly to secure the cheese mixture inside. Repeat this filling and folding process with the remaining tortillas.

        Brush with Olive Oil: Carefully brush both sides of each folded tortilla with olive oil. This will create a delightful crispiness as they cook.

          Cook the Tortilla Melts: Once the skillet is heated, gently place the first tortilla melt into the skillet. Allow it to cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Using a spatula, carefully flip the melt over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side. Continue this cooking process for each tortilla melt until they are all perfectly crispy.

            Cut and Serve: After all the tortilla melts are cooked, transfer them to a cutting board and slice them into wedge shapes for easy handling. Serve them warm, accompanied by a small bowl of marinara sauce for dipping.

                - Presentation Tip: Arrange the melted wedges on a serving platter and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh basil. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top for added shine and flavor.
