Meatball, Tomato & Cheese Tortilla Melt
Uses: meatballs, diced tomatoes, flour tortilla, taco-blend cheese
Ingredients:
- 3 to 4 prepared meatballs, about 4 ounces
- 1/3 cup diced tomatoes, drained if very liquid
- 1 flour tortilla
- 1/4 cup shredded taco-blend cheese
- Oregano and black pepper
- Tiny amount of salt if needed
Instructions:
- Heat the meatballs according to package directions until steaming hot. Cut them into halves or quarters.
- Warm the diced tomatoes in a small skillet with oregano and black pepper for 2 to 3 minutes. Taste before adding salt because the meatballs and cheese may already be salty.
- Place the tortilla in a clean skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle half the cheese over one side, add the meatballs and tomato mixture, then top with the remaining cheese.
- Fold the tortilla over and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until crisp and the cheese has melted. Let stand briefly before cutting into wedges.
Good for: A fun, pizza-like lunch that turns prepared meatballs into a crispy, melty tortilla meal.
Optional: Add a small amount of diced jalapeño to the tomato mixture.
