i was never a girl for tomatoes...

apparently, when i was a child, i ate tomatoes like candy out of our garden. but for years, i have avoided them. then i met nate, who could eat only tomatoes for the rest of his life and be happy. i've been eating them more and more...and we have a new favorite recipe. it is so easy and delish!

pizza-dillas

1 can fire-roasted tomatoes, drained
mozzarella cheese
6-10 fresh basil leaves
2 chicken tenderloins or one chicken breast
oregano
salt & pepper
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
oleeeeve oil
tortillas, of course

so here's how it goes: cook the chicken, then shred it with a fork. while the chicken is cooking, drizzle some olive oil in pan and cook the garlic for a minute. add the fire-roasted tomatoes and shredded chicken to the garlic and shake some oregano and s&p over it. let the mixture simmer for a couple of minutes. in another pan, lightly drizzled with olive oil, lay your tortilla down and cover it with a layer of mozzarella. add some of the tomato mixture on top, then sprinkle basil over that, laying another tortilla on top. cook. flip. cook. lunch/snack/dinner in 10 minutes.

i promise this will please your taste buds...even if tomatoes aren't your thing. yum!
