Butter Baste; toss to coat.

top each with one lettuce leaf. Place 3/4 cup vegetables and
1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese down the center of each tortilla.
Fold flour tortillas toward center; repeat.
- Southwestern Butter Baste: In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter. Add 2 tablespoons
chopped cilantro, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt and
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper. Cook and stir over low heat
for about 2 minutes to blend flavors.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons lime juice; remove from heat.
