Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 Corn tortillas
- 2 cups Dairy-free cheese shreds (such as a soy-based or coconut cheese)
- 1 Red bell pepper, diced
- 3 Green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 Lime, cut into wedges (for serving)
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
Add the sliced green onions to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Stir in the cumin, salt, and black pepper, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Remove the vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and return to the heat.
Place a tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle a generous amount of dairy-free cheese over one half of the tortilla.
Top the cheese with a portion of the cooked vegetable mixture.
Fold the tortilla in half and cook until the cheese has melted and the tortilla is lightly golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Once cooked, cut each tortilla into thirds.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
