I used only 1 large green bell pepper. I probably added more corn than requested. I had large tortillas so I needed only 4. I made a mistake by adding the cheese on top before putting it in the oven. I guess it's still ok as it's so good. I added chili powder cause the salsa I used was mild and I thought it would be great in it. Thanks Margie :) Made for 123 hit wonders
