Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the diced red onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.

Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving on high for about 20 seconds or by heating them in a dry skillet over low heat for 1 minute on each side.

Step 8

Place one warm tortilla on a clean surface and spoon a portion of the vegetable mixture along the center.

Step 9

Top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a scoop of guacamole.

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
