Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 standard flour tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked black beans
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 whole diced jalapeño pepper (optional)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 sliced avocado (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (your choice)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Roast (optional, 35–40 min): Toss sliced peppers, garlic and onions with 1 tbsp olive oil. Roast at 400°F/200°C for 20–25 minutes until tender-caramelized.
  2. Quick skillet (20 min): Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add minced garlic, cook 1 min. Add sliced peppers and onions, sauté 6–8 min until tender‑crisp.
  3. Beans: Stir in 1 cup cooked black beans, 1 tsp cumin. Cook 2–3 min until warmed and combined.
  4. Warm tortillas: Heat each flour tortilla 20–30 sec per side in a dry skillet (or microwave stack 20–30 sec). For extra crispness, finish for 5 min at 375°F in oven.
  5. Assemble: Spread a thin layer of the bean mixture on tortillas. Top with roasted/sautéed veg, diced tomatoes, avocado, and shredded cheese.
  6. Serve: Garnish with chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and salsa. Serve immediately.
