Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the shredded chicken, black beans, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the ingredients are heated through. Remove from heat.

Fold each tortilla over to create a half-moon shape, pressing down gently to seal the edges.

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 8

Cook the folded tortillas in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Press down with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
