§ 12 (6-inch) flour tortillas

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350°F.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and squash to the pan. Saute for 5-6 minutes, or until just tender, stirring occasionally.

3. Add the cumin, smoked paprika, hot sauce and black beans to the pan. Season to taste with salt. Saute for 2-3 minutes or until heated through, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and toss with the cheese.

5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm
