Ingredients

6 white flour tortillas
½ cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves
¼ cup fresh basil leaves
¼ cup fresh parsley (chopped)
1 cup shredded mozzarella
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Chili flakes optional

Instructions

Preheat: Heat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
Fold: Fold each of the 6 tortillas back and forth like an accordion and place them snugly into an 8×8-inch baking dish.
Blend: Add ½ cup olive oil, 2 garlic cloves, ¼ cup basil, ¼ cup parsley, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper to a blender and blend until smooth.
Stir: Stir 1 cup shredded mozzarella directly into the herb oil mixture.
Spoon: Spoon the mixture evenly over the folded tortillas, pressing it into the folds so it seeps between the layers.
Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and the tortilla edges are golden and crisp.
Finish: Let cool slightly, then pull apart and sprinkle with chili flakes if desired.

Notes

Be sure to press the oil and cheese mixture down into the folds. That’s where the magic happens.
If your edges brown quickly, loosely tent with foil for the last few minutes.
You can swap basil and parsley for thyme, or whatever herbs are hanging around your fridge.
This reheats shockingly well in the oven or air fryer.
If you want to get wild, add a little grated Parmesan on top before baking.
