Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, thoroughly mix together the ground meat, egg, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, chopped onion, and parsley to create a smooth, even meat mixture.
  2. Spread the meat mixture on one side of each tortilla.
Cooking
  1. Heat a pan over medium heat with a bit of oil.
  2. Place the tortilla meat-side down in the pan, cooking for about 5 minutes until the meat is cooked through and starts to brown.
  3. Brush the top of the tortilla with some oil and carefully fold it over using a plate or a second pan.
  4. Sprinkle grated Gouda cheese on top, add ketchup, and place the sliced bell peppers.
  5. Cover the pan and cook until the cheese melts.
  6. Remove the tortilla from the pan, slice it up, and serve hot.

Notes

For storage, keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat on a skillet for the best texture. You can also add chili powder or hot sauce for a spicy kick, or swap ground beef for lean turkey or chicken for a healthier option.
