Place the tortilla on a small nonstick baking sheet and bake it in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until it becomes fully crisp. In case air bubbles appear during baking, puncture them using a fork, then gently press out the air with either a spatula or oven mitt. Once done, take the baking sheet out of the oven. Evenly distribute the garlic and basil over all but the outermost 1/2 inch of the tortilla. Sprinkle an even layer of cheese over the herbs followed by arranging tomato slices evenly on top.
