Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, diced
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium Zucchini, diced
• 1.5 cups Cooked black beans (drained and rinsed)
• 1.5 cups Cooked white rice
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes (canned, drained)
• 1 cup Corn kernels (frozen or fresh)
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 0.5 cup Salsa (for serving)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (for serving)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and zucchini. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 4

Add the black beans, cooked white rice, diced tomatoes, corn, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is heated through.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 6

Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the filling onto the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 7

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 8

Place the burritos seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Brush the tops with a little olive oil for a crispier finish (optional).

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and slightly crispy on top.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro if desired.
