instructions
    1

    Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper, sautéing until they're soft for about 5 minutes.

    2

    Next, add the ground beef to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

    3

    Once the beef is ready, remove the skillet from the heat. Take one tortilla, sprinkle a layer of cheddar cheese on half, add a scoop of the beef mixture, some sliced jalapenos, and top with another layer of cheese before folding it over.

    4

    Carefully place the folded tortilla in the skillet over medium heat. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

    Serve hot with sour cream on the side for dipping.
