  3. Once melted, place tortilla in skillet and top with 1 sliced tomato (remove seeds first), half mozzarella, and about 3 basil leaves. Top with other tortilla.
  4. At this point it is probably about time to flip. Press the quesadilla down with your spatula to get everything to stick together. Flip!
