• 1 cup, cooked (or one 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed) black beans
• 1 cup cooked rice
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin

Directions

Step 1

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

Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the bell peppers, zucchini, and minced garlic, and sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Warm the tortillas either in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20-30 seconds on each side or by wrapping them in foil and placing them in a low oven for a few minutes.

Step 7

Sprinkle shredded cheese over the filling, followed by a spoonful of salsa. Add sour cream and fresh cilantro if desired.
