Ingredients

1 cup onion, sliced
1 cup red/green bell peppers (capsicum), sliced
1 jalapeno, diced
a handful of spinach, washed and dried
1 cup of tofu, diced, and slightly toasted in a pan till golden brown on all sides
0.5 cup corn, cooked
0.5 cup cooked beans (black-eyed peas, black beans, white beans, chick pea (channa), or anything you have at hand)
1 -2 cups of grated cheese, cheddar
2 tbsp red chilli flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
4 corn tortillas. Alternatively, wheat rotis will also work.

Method

Line a baking tray with foil. Spread out the sliced onions, capsicum, jalapenos and spinach. Drizzle with oil and salt. Bake at 400°F /200°C for 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are cooked and slightly charred.
Alternately, you can use a fire grill or a tandoor oven to get the same flavour. Or just roast them in a pan over medium heat till cooked.
Over low heat, place the tortilla on a heavy bottomed skillet. Cover the tortilla with the grated cheese.
Over half the tortilla, spread a little of the filling - tofu, corn, grilled vegetables (spinach, onion, jalapenos, red pepper), beans and more cheese if needed.
Season with red chilli flakes, salt and pepper.
Once the bottom is crisped and the cheese molten, fold over the tortilla in half. Press down for the cheese to melt and seal the ingredients.
Remove from heat and cut into third like triangles.
Serve hot and enjoy with a side of sour cream and freshly made guacamole.
