golden. Remove and reserve. - Place both tortillas on a fat work surface. Divide the grilled vegetables and distribute evenly on bottom half of the tortillas. Layer shredded cheese on top, leaving a ½-inch border aroundthe edge of the tortilla to prevent any cheese from melting out. Fold empty portion of tortillan over the flling.
