Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 bell pepper sliced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 small onion diced (about ½ cup)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or 1 zucchini sliced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: ½ cup black beans drained

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and bell pepper for 4-5 minutes until soft.
  2. Add spinach/zucchini, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; cook 2 minutes until wilted.
  3. Place tortilla in skillet, add cheese and veggies to half, fold over. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden.
  4. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Cut and serve hot.

Notes

  • Don't overcrowd the skillet – cooks veggies evenly for better texture.
  • Use medium heat to melt cheese without burning tortillas.
  • Customize heat with chili flakes; start mild for kids.
  • Freeze extras wrapped individually; reheat in skillet for crispiness.
