Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)
  • 1 cup zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

How to Make Vegetable and Cheese Burritos

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and zucchini, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  2. Add the corn and black beans to the skillet, then sprinkle in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through.
  3. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and combined with the vegetables.
  4. Warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for about 15 seconds to make them pliable.
  5. Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the vegetable and cheese mixture onto the center. Fold in the sides and roll it up tightly from the bottom.
  6. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. If desired, place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet to toast for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Always warm your tortillas before filling to prevent tearing.
  • Feel free to switch up the veggies based on what you have available or in season.
  • For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice to the vegetable mixture before wrapping.
  • If you like spice, consider adding jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the black beans for pinto beans or kidney beans.
  • Use different types of cheese like pepper jack for a spicy kick.
  • Add cooked chicken or ground beef for a meatier version.
  • Incorporate spices like smoked paprika or garlic powder for added depth.

What to Serve With It

  • A fresh side salad with lime vinaigrette.
  • Guacamole or avocado slices for a creamy addition.
  • Salsa or pico de gallo for a zesty kick.
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt for dipping.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover burritos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until heated through, or microwave for about 1-2 minutes.
