📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Add the diced red bell pepper, black beans, and corn to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes, until well combined and heated through.

4. Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and remove from heat.

5. In a separate saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the crushed tomatoes and optional minced chipotle chili. Stir in lime juice and let simmer for 5 minutes to develop flavors.

6. Spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.

7. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the bean mixture into the center of each flour tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.

8. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are evenly covered.

9. Sprinkle chopped cilantro and non-dairy cheese over the top.

10. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

11. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
