I came up with this one twenty years ago when I was the cook at an organic vegetarian Mexican restaurant in Berkeley twenty-odd years ago:

Slice the Bell into thin rings, discard core and seeds.

Saute lean pork strips (vegetarian??? Heck - i was experimenting...) in a mixture of olive oil, smashed garlic cloves, freshly ground cumin and coriander seeds, diced pickled jalapenos (crushed dried arbol for more heat), salt, pepper. when well cooked, drain off excess oil, and mop with paper towel.

Mix in raw bell pepper. Roll in Corn tortilla, and pin with wood toothpick.

Properly heat pan of oil for deep fry. Plunge the tortilla in the oil for just a few seconds- enough to crisp the tortilla - but not enough to soften the bell pepper too much (easier said than done;)

You should have a crispy roll with the bell pepper still al dente. The deliciousness comes from the contrast between the slightly picante bell and the spicy pork.
