For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding fresh, chopped cilantro to the zucchini mixture before filling the tortillas. Serve these burritos with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, avocado slices, or a vibrant salsa. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference and availability. Corn, mushrooms, or spinach would be delicious additions. To add a smoky element, consider grilling the burritos for a few minutes after baking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
02
StepIn a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant (about 5 minutes).
03
StepIntroduce the shredded zucchini, yellow squash, and chopped bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the squash and zucchini are tender (approximately 10 minutes).
04
StepStir in the rinsed black beans, green salsa, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture has thickened slightly (around 5-8 minutes).
05
StepEvenly distribute half of the Mexican-style cheese blend among the tortillas. Spoon the zucchini filling in a line across the center of each tortilla, atop the cheese.
06
StepFold in the opposing edges of the tortillas to partially cover the filling. Then, roll one of the remaining edges tightly around the filling to create a burrito. Place the burrito, seam-side down, in the prepared baking dish.
07
StepBake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the burritos are thoroughly heated (about 15 minutes). Before serving, sprinkle the remaining Mexican cheese blend over the burritos.
