Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup corn
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and dicing zucchinis and bell peppers into uniform small cubes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Add diced zucchinis and bell peppers to the skillet, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Sprinkle cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper over the vegetables, mixing thoroughly to distribute spices evenly.
- Cook vegetables for approximately 5-7 minutes until they become slightly tender but retain a slight crispness.
- Add corn to the skillet and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing corn to heat through.
- Warm flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable.
- Place a warm tortilla on a flat surface and spoon the vegetable mixture into the center.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the vegetables while they are still hot, allowing cheese to slightly melt.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a burrito.
- Optional: Place rolled burritos in a hot skillet seam-side down to create a light golden-brown exterior.
- Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream on the side for added creaminess.
Tips
- * Make sure to dice the zucchinis and bell peppers into uniform small cubes to ensure even cooking. * Don't overcook the vegetables - you want them to retain a slight crispness to add texture to your burritos. * Warm your flour tortillas before filling to make them more pliable and easier to roll. * Experiment with different types of cheese and spices to give your burritos an extra kick. * If you want to take your burritos to the next level, try adding some diced chicken or beans for extra protein.
