This squash and zucchini burritos recipe is easy to throw together with summer squash. You can tailor it to your tastes and what fresh vegetables you have on hand. It's a great new way to use up summer squash from your garden or farmers' market. For a stronger-flavored dish, add fresh chopped cilantro to the mixture before spooning into tortillas. Serve it with sour cream, avocado, or salsa.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • ½ onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 zucchini, shredded

  • 1 large yellow squash, shredded

  • ½ red bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 cup green salsa

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

  • 2 (8 ounce) packages Mexican-style shredded cheese blend, divided

  • 6 (burrito-sized) flour tortillas

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in zucchini, yellow squash, and bell pepper; cook, stirring frequently, until zucchini and yellow squash are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in black beans, green salsa, cumin, and cayenne pepper; cook and stir until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes.

  3. Divide 1 package Mexican-style cheese among tortillas. Spoon zucchini filling on top cheese in a line across middle of each tortilla. Fold opposing edges of tortillas to overlap the filling. Roll 1 of the opposing edges around the filling creating a burrito; place, seam-sides down, into the prepared baking dish.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and burritos are heated through, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 1 package cheese over burritos before serving.
