pepper strip tostadas

Bell peppers.What a tasty fruit. It is a fruit right? because it has seeds... anywhos...It's super! and they come in a variety of colors including white, and purple! Most people tend to avoid them because they assume they're hot.EEHHHH WRONG! They're sweet actually. And full of vitamin C. 134% of your daily recommended value per serving(3.5 oz)to be exact . That's like 3 times the amount in an orange! but it's mainly the yellow, orange ,and red, not so much the green. Eat a few servings of bell pepper and see if you you get sick during flu season! I think not!
