Ingredients

3/4 cup chopped green pepper
3/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1 small onion, chopped
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup picante sauce
1 package (16 ounces) frozen broccoli-cauliflower blend
6 flour tortillas (8 inches)
1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

In a large skillet, saute peppers and onion in oil until tender. Stir in picante sauce; set aside. Meanwhile, cook frozen vegetables according to package directions; drain. Cool slightly; coarsely chop vegetables.
Place two tortillas on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread each with 1/3 cup refried beans and sprinkle with 1/3 cup of the pepper mixture. Top each with another tortilla. Spoon 1-1/2 cups vegetables over each tortilla and sprinkle with Monterey jack cheese. Top the last two tortillas with remaining beans and pepper mixture; place one on each stack. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
Bake at 375° for 10-15 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Garnish with cilantro and olives. Cut into wedges. Serve with sour cream and picante sauce.
