Ingredients
Method
Soak sun-dried tomatoes and raisins in 1 cup warm water for 10 to 15 minutes, then drain thoroughly, roughly chop and transfer to a bowl.
Add cheese, pine nuts and basil and set aside.
Warm a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle with half of the cheese mixture. Press another tortilla on top.
Cook 2 to 3 minutes, then carefully flip the quesadilla to brown the other side for another minute or two. Remove to plate and repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
Drizzle quesadillas with balsamic vinegar, if desired, then cut into wedges and serve.
