For the Pesto

1. Preheat your oven to 400ºF and turn on your convection fan if you have one. Prepare a baking tray by lining with parchment or spraying with non-stick coating.

1. On the baking tray top one tortilla with a heaping spoonful of pesto, then sprinkle evenly with cheese and top with a second tortilla. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, sharing the flavours evenly.

2. Bake for 5 minutes, flip using a spatula and continue baking until golden brown and crispy, another 5 minutes more. Serve and share.
