Hamakua Caprese Ingredients

Method

Hamakua Caprese Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Balsamic Citrus Reduction

    In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and citrus juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce until the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the tortillas on both sides until golden and crispy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Caprese

    Spread a generous layer of truffled goat cheese on each tortilla. Top with a spoonful of Kawamata tomato basil pesto.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish

    Drizzle the balsamic citrus reduction over the assembled tortillas. Sprinkle with cracked black pepper and sea salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the tortillas into wedges and serve immediately.
