A sweet little appetizer or side dish of pears, sweet red peppers and mild green chilies, oven-baked in flour tortillas with Monterey Jack cheese. Serve with your choice of toppings.

Ingredients

4 (8-in.) flour tortillas, plain, tomato, or whole wheat

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. On a large baking sheet, place 2 tortillas.

3. Top with remaining tortillas, pressing them gently over the filling.
