Scale
- 1 medium seasonal apple of choice, cored, unpeeled, finely diced
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/4 cup finely diced sweet onion

Instructions
- Stir together the apple, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Spritz two of the tortillas with cooking spray (fill a culinary bottle with grapeseed or extra-virgin olive oil). Flip over and top with the cheese and scallions. Then top with the remaining tortillas. Spritz the top of the tortillas with cooking spray.
