Ingredients
Basil Mayonnaise:

Quesadilla:
- 8 whole wheat tortillas

- 6 ounces fresh mozzarella cut into strips
Instructions
- For the mayonnaise, stir together mayonnaise and basil. Set aside.
- For the quesadillas, spread the basil mayonnaise on one side of each tortilla.
- Lay tomato slices and mozzarella strips on 4 of the tortillas. Cover with remaining tortillas.
- Preheat skillet over medium-high heat (you can use 2 skillets to make this process faster). Place quesadillas, cooking one at a time, in skillet.
- Cook until cheese is melted and tortillas are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Remove from pan and let rest for a couple of minutes. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges.
