  Preheat a medium skillet or pan for 1 minute over medium-low heat. It's important that the skillet temperature is not too high, so that the tortillas do not harden or overcook before the cheese fully melts. Heat tortillas for 30 seconds on one side, flip and add ¼ cup of cheese to each tortilla and about 3-4 pepper strips. Fold in half. Cook for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Flip occasionally so they don't burn. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve and enjoy!
