- 1/2 cup red bell pepper

- 1/2 cup oat milk
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

While the vegetables cook, whisk together oat milk, nutritional yeast, flour, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 3 minutes) and becomes creamy.

Place one tortilla in the skillet, spread the sautéed vegetables over half, drizzle the oat‑milk cheese sauce on top, then fold the tortilla over; cook 2‑3 minutes per side until golden and the sauce is melted.
