This is one of my faves that I have been making for years. And it is very easy to change around to add in your own choices of "fillings"...chili peppers, meats (already cooked), squash...whatever floats your boat :)

serves: 2

Ingredients:
1/4 cup onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, strips; or green
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 ounces reduced fat cheddar cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons whipped cream cheese
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
1 dash cumin
1 dash crushed red pepper
2 tortilla, 6"

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450*.

2. In small nonstick skillet add onion, bell pepper & garlic - cook until bell pepper is tender crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.

3. In small mixing bowl, use fork to combine remaining ingredients (except tortillas)

4. Onto bottom half of 1 tortilla spoon half the veggie mix & top with half of cheese mix. Fold in half & gently press to close.

5. Arrange filled tortillas on nonstick baking dish & spray each w/cooking spray.

6. Bake until cheese melts, about 8 minutes.
