- 4 large flour tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil or butter for frying
- Salsa or hot sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions
- Cook the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil or butter. Sauté the onions and bell peppers until softened. Push the mixture to one side of the skillet.
