- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 cup grated zucchini juices squeezed out
- 1/2 bunch cilantro chopped
- 2 tablespoons diced jalapeno or more if you like it hot
- 14 ounces black beans drained and rinsed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese shredded
- 4 low-carb flour tortillas or whole wheat
Combine all ingredients except for the cheese (and tortillas of course) in a large bowl.
Place mixture in a large skillet and fry until hot.
In the meantime, heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the pan.
Add a few large scoops of the corn/bean mixture and a little cheese on half of the tortilla.
Fold tortilla over, then flip sides. When cheese is melted, cut in half and serve!
