Steps
Prepare Vegetables
Cut the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, toss them with olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 5-10 minutes for the flavors to meld.
Grill and Warm
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill the seasoned vegetables for 8-10 minutes until tender and slightly charred. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, warm the rinsed black beans and drained corn over low heat for about 3-5 minutes.
Assemble Burritos
Warm the tortillas in a dry pan, microwave, or on the grill until they are flexible. Place a portion of grilled vegetables on each tortilla, then spoon some of the warm black bean and corn mixture over them. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro, if using.
Roll and Serve
Fold in the two sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom. Serve immediately, optionally with a side of salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. Enjoy your meal!
Extra Tips
► Don't be afraid to experiment with other vegetables like mushrooms, eggplant, or sweet potatoes.
► If you like it spicy, add a little chopped jalapeño to the vegetables.
► Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave before serving; they'll be much more flexible.
