• Finely chop the vegetables and herbs, season with salt and pepper, and mix in the lime juice and olive oil.
  
• Cut the tortilla into triangles and drizzle with olive oil. Place the triangles into a pan and place in the oven at 180 °C (356 °F) for a few minutes. When they start to crisp up, remove from the oven and add the spice mixture.
