Ingredients
●1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
●1/3 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
●1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
●Pinch of ground cumin
●1 1/2 cups thinly sliced kale (remove center rib from kale before slicing)
●1/4 teaspoon butter
●3/4 cup of grated mild cheddar
●2 flour tortillas (use corn tortillas for gluten-free version)

1.Sauté bell pepper, onion, add cumin, kale:
Heat olive oil in a medium sauté pan on medium high heat. Add the chopped bell pepper and red onion, cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Sprinkle with ground cumin. Add the thinly sliced kale and toss to combine. Cook a minute more on medium high, then lower the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook for a couple more minutes until kales is cooked through and softened, remove from heat.
2.Heat the tortilla:
Heat a large cast iron pan on medium high to high heat. Spread a little butter over the bottom of the pan. Place a flour tortilla in the pan and heat until you see bubbles of air pockets starting to form. Then flip the tortilla over and lower the heat to medium.
3.Add cheese and kale filling to tortilla:
Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Place a couple scoops of the kale pepper onion mixture on one side of the tortilla.
Fold the other side of the tortilla over the side with the kale. Press down with a spatula. When the cheese on one side has melted, flip the tortilla over to the other side.
When the cheese on that side has melted, remove to a cutting board and repeat with the other tortilla and the remaining cheese and filling.
