2 medium green onions, finely chopped |
1 small bell pepper (red or green, seeded and finely chopped) |
5 pickled jalapeno peppers, slices chopped (or to taste) |
3 tablespoons butter (or to taste) |
3/4 cup ranch dressing (i use hidden valley ranch for this) |
3/4 cup prepared salsa |

4 (10 inch) flour tortillas |
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled |
