  • Onion (1 medium, diced)
  • Zucchini (1 medium, diced)
  • Corn (1 cup, fresh or frozen)
  • Black beans (1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed)

  6. Top with sliced avocado, a spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
  7. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the filling for a burst of flavor.
  8. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to secure the filling inside.
  9. Serve the burritos warm, with extra salsa and lime wedges on the side.
