**Zucchini and Black Bean Burritos**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 medium zucchini, diced
– 1 small red onion, diced
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1/2 cup corn kernels
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
– Salsa and sour cream, for serving
**Instructions:**
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced zucchini, red onion, and red bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
2. Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, and chili powder to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
3. Stir in the black beans and corn kernels. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove the skillet from the heat.
4. Preheat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place a flour tortilla on the skillet and sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on one side of the tortilla. Let the cheese slightly melt.
5. Spoon a generous portion of the zucchini and black bean mixture onto the cheesy side of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half, covering the filling completely.
6. Carefully flip the burrito and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
8. Once all the burritos are cooked, garnish them with fresh cilantro and serve with salsa and sour cream on the side.
