Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, sliced
2 red bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced

4 8-inch whole-wheat tortillas
4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack (about 1 1/2 cups)

1. In a large skillet, warm 2 Tbsp. oil over medium heat. Add onions, bell peppers and garlic, sprinkle with salt and cook, stirring, until vegetables have softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.

2. Combine beans, cilantro, lime juice, hot sauce, if desired, and 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a medium bowl. Taste and season with salt.
