Zucchini and Black Bean Tortillas

Zucchini and Black Bean Tortillas

(Serves 4)

Ingredients:

2 lbs zucchini, grated
30 oz canned black beans, drained
12 oz Monterey Jack, grated (or other cheese if preferred)
1 tsp salt
2 green onions, chopped
1 jalapeno, minced
8 eight-inch flour tortillas
Olive oil

Instructions:

Place grated zucchini with the salt into a colander and squeeze out the excess water.

In a bowl, combine zucchini with beans, cheese, green onions and jalapeno.

Brush olive oil on one side of each tortilla. Place one tortilla oil side down into a frying pan, top with some of the zucchini-bean mixture and place another tortilla oil-side up on top of the mixture.

Fry over medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side, until the tortillas turn golden brown. Repeat with the other tortillas and serve right away.
