  3. Step 3: Place 4 whole wheat tortillas on a flat surface, layer 1/4 cup roasted vegetables on each, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup dairy-free cheese.
  4. Step 4: Fold tortillas in half, drizzle with remaining olive oil, and cook in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until cheese melts and tortillas are golden.
