01 - 4 small flour tortillas, 6 inches diameter
02 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
03 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
04 - 1/2 cup finely diced bell pepper, red or yellow

# How To Make:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, cilantro if using, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and set aside to allow flavors to meld.
02 - Lay out all four tortillas on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of each tortilla with shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, diced bell pepper, and chopped spinach if desired. Fold each tortilla in half to create a semicircle shape.
03 - Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter. Place folded tortillas in the skillet, working in batches if necessary. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is fully melted.
