Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, ~1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add 4 tortillas to the hot oil, frying 60 seconds per side until golden and edges curl. Transfer to a paper towel.

  3. Step 3

    Repeat with remaining 4 tortillas using the same oil. Set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Add 1 tbsp oil to the same skillet over medium heat. Add peppers and onion, stirring occasionally until soft, ~5 minutes.
