This is a healthy recipe and it is delicious. I use low carb tortillas to cut the calories. If you are in a hurry, you can cut less bell peppers to save time. Of course, the taste will be the same. My husband doesn't like green bell peppers; therefore, I don't use them. You may add chicken or some other meat if you so desire.
