Impromptu Dinner Party

 

Ever have a surprise guest stop by unannounced?!

Still want to be the HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTEST and entertain?!

 

Below is a super quick appetizer I whipped up yesterday when I had a friend come over:

 

First, I diced onion, yellow bell pepper and red bell pepper together and threw them into a pan with a little bit of oil. salt and pepper.

 

 

 

 

I let the veggies simmer on low heat until the onion turned a golden brown. One fully cooked, I added the veggies and some cheese on top of a tortilla...

Cut, Plate, add sour cream, hot sauce, a little more hot sauce, and WHALAH!
