Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 medium zucchinis, diced
  2. 1 bell pepper, diced
  3. 1 cup corn
  4. 1 teaspoon cumin
  5. 1 teaspoon chili powder
  6. 4 large flour tortillas
  7. 1 cup shredded cheese
  8. Salt and pepper to taste
  9. Sour cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare all ingredients by washing and dicing zucchinis and bell peppers into uniform small cubes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of cooking oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Add diced zucchinis and bell peppers to the skillet, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  4. Sprinkle cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper over the vegetables, mixing thoroughly to distribute spices evenly.
  5. Cook vegetables for approximately 5-7 minutes until they become slightly tender but retain a slight crispness.
  6. Add corn to the skillet and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing corn to heat through.
  7. Warm flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable.
  8. Place a warm tortilla on a flat surface and spoon the vegetable mixture into the center.
  9. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the vegetables while they are still hot, allowing cheese to slightly melt.
  10. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a burrito.
  11. Optional: Place rolled burritos in a hot skillet seam-side down to create a light golden-brown exterior.
  12. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream on the side for added creaminess.

Tips

  1. * 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.
