Yesterday as soon as I reached home from work, I walked straight into the Kitchen and raided the Refrigerator hoping to find something to curb my hunger. But, Nope! Nothing, Zilch! I had a couple of Tortillas left over and just a capscium. Earlier, I searched the Web to stumble upon something interesting to make with the Tortillas I had, but either found stuffings with Beef/other kinds of meat or boring versions of vegetarian filling with loads of Cheese. Clueless on what I'd be cooking, I added anything that I laid my eyes on (thinking to myself - "Yeah! Sure, Why not?!") & ended up with a great tasting appetizer within 10 mins! 
Ingredients:
Tortillas - 2
Capsicum - 1 - Finely Chopped
Onion - 1 Medium - Finely Chopped
Green Chillies - 2-3 finely chopped
Garlic Pods - 2 finely chopped
Red Chili flakes - about half a teaspoon
Dried Oregano Leaves - half a teaspoon
Salt
Lime juice - 1 tsp
Olive Oil - 1 tbsp
Light Mayonaise - 1 tbsp
Recipe:
* In a pan, add the olive oil and toss in the green chillies,red chili flakes, Oregano and Garlic. After 30 secs, add chopped Onion & Capscium and salt. Cover and Cook for about 5 mins on a medium flame.
* Once cooked, add lime juice and give a good stir. Switch off and keep aside.
* On a griddle, heat the Tortillas without adding any oil. Flip to heat on both sides.
* Spread the mayonaise on the Tortillas evenly, add the cooked veggies and spread. Roll them up as shown. Cut into a little over 1 inch pieces. Stick a tooth-pick and Serve with Ketchup!
I would leave it to your imagination as to what else can be stuffed into the Tortillas. I basically was running out of veggies, and had limited options. Also, you can try spreading Pizza Sauce instead of Mayonaise. Just make sure the roll doesn't get too big for a bite! :-P
