Place 4 leaves (still fairly wet from being rinsed) on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on HIGH for about 25 seconds.
Lay the leaves face-down on a non-stick jellyroll sheet (or similar) with stems lined up from north to south.
Lay 1/4 ounce of the cheese in the center, in a 2-inch-long rectangle, from north to south.
Spread 1 teaspoon of the tomato paste over the cheese, then top with 2 tomato quarters (if using small tomatoes) and sprinkle with about 1/16th teaspoon of the herb seasoning over the tomato filling.
Fold north and south ends of leaf over the filling, then fold in the sides to create a burrito-like wrap.
Place on jellyroll pan, stem side up.

This sounds delish! We use lettuce leaves for cold filling wraps so this is a great idea for hot filling wraps and we love swiss chard, I was going to start growing it this next summer. By the way a jelly roll pan is nothing fancy basically a cookie sheet with about half to one inch side to it. - 12/27/09
