For cherry tomatoes, cut all tomatoes in half and place in small bowl. Toss with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place 3 medium-sized oven-proof bowls upside down on a baking sheet. Form 3 tortillas over the bowls. Place in the oven and toast for 7-10 minutes until tortillas are crisp and lightly browned in spots. Un-mould from bowls while warm.
