Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 °F (163 °C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Using a 2.75 inch diameter biscuit cutter, cut out circles from the flour tortillas. Place them side by side on the prepared baking sheet and using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the tortillas with the 2 tbsp. of vegetable oil.
Bake tortillas for approx. 5-7 minutes, watching them carefully as they can burn quickly. You'll want to remove them as soon as they start turning a light brown. Set aside and turn the oven broiler on.
In a skillet, with the remaining 1 tbsp. of vegetable oil, heat to medium high heat and saute bell peppers and onion with salt and pepper until soft and tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
To assemble bites, take a tortilla round, place a small slice of muenster cheese on top, then top with 1-2 tsp. of filling then sprinkle on mozzarella cheese. Place on baking sheet and repeat until all the filling and tortilla rounds have been used up.
Place tortilla rounds under broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese has melted and is nice and bubbly.
