2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups sliced zucchini
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced carrots
1 cup sliced green pepper
2 cups chopped tomato
1/4 cup chopped ripe olives
1 Tbsp. seeded minced jalapeno pepper
2 (4 oz.) cans chopped green chiles, drained

DIRECTIONS

Coat a large Dutch oven with vegetable oil; place over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion, mushrooms and garlic. Saute until vegetables are tender and all liquid is absorbed. Add zucchini, carrot, green pepper, tomato, olives, and jalapeno pepper; saute, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Drain vegetables; add green chiles and next 6 ingredients; stir mixture well.

Spoon 1/3 cup vegetable mixture onto each tortilla, and fold edges over. Serve immediately.

Notes:
