What you need: 

1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
1 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and pepper, to taste
juice of 1 lime
8 (7") whole wheat tortillas
3/4 cup grated vegan mozzarella cheese, divided
1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro

What you do: 

1. Heat olive oil in a medium sized saute pan over medium heat. Add red peppers, corn, and black beans. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Add the lime juice, stir to combine, and remove from heat. To assemble, lay 1 tortilla in a hot skillet. Add 1/4 cup filling and then top with 2 tablespoons grated cheese and cilantro.
3. Top with another tortilla and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until slightly browned on the bottom tortilla. Flip and cook on the other side until slightly browned and the cheese has melted.
