Introduction
We love to make Jim's Guacamole sauce recipe, and black beans in a pot with onion, garlic and cilantro. Shredded Cheddar Cheese (from our State) and fresh veggies from the local Farmers' Market. We freeze our market share of bell peppers and enjoy the year round.As a variation to this recipe, we will fry plantains and have those as the filling with the black beans and cheese. Whatever is in the kitchen that may taste good, sour cream, vegan meat substitute protein products, sprouts, use your imagination and the variety never ends.

Directions
GUACAMOLE:
Make the Guacamole and chill it in Refridgerator (10 minutes prep time). Wash Avocados, cut down the middle, remove the pit, and scoop the pulp into a small mixing bowl. Add the diced fresh Tomato, minced Garlic, Lime Juice, and chopped fresh Cilantro. Salt to taste. Mix well and chill before serving.
BLACK BEANS and PEPPERS:
In a medium pot with a lid, over medium heat, add one-quarter teaspoon canola oil and the bell pepper strips, saute over medium heat for 3 minutes or until tender. Add the drained and rinsed black beans, chopped onion, chopped Jalapeno Pepper, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, oregano, dash of salt. Mix well. Cover and reduce heat after a few minutes to a low simmer.
TORTILLAS: in a large non stick skillet pan with one-half teaspoon of canola oil at a time, per tortilla. Over medium heat, add the oil, and spread well. Place the tortilla on the oil, turn the tortilla in the oil to cover both sides. Cover the pan with a lid and heat until tortilla browns underneath a little, turn it over, and brown the other side a bit. Remove to a plate with paper towel. Repeat for each tortilla until all are completed.
ASSEMBLY:
Take one tortilla at a time on a large plate, and on one side of the tortilla place one-third 1/3 of each ingredient: Cheddar Cheese, Black Beans, Pepper Strips, Guacamole, Salsa and Lettuce. Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filled side.
