  2. Stir in the chopped zucchini and minced garlic. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the zucchini is tender-crisp and the garlic is fragrant.

  3. Add the ground cumin, smoked paprika, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat the vegetables. Then, add the rinsed and drained black beans and the undrained can of diced tomatoes with green chilies.

  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.
  5. Stir in the cooked quinoa and chopped fresh cilantro. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.

  6. While the filling simmers, warm the whole wheat tortillas. You can do this by heating them briefly in a dry skillet, in the microwave for a few seconds, or directly over a low gas flame for a slight char (be careful!).

  7. Lay a warmed tortilla flat. Spoon about a quarter of the heart-filled mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
  8. Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then tightly roll from the bottom up to create a burrito.
  9. Serve immediately. If using, top with sliced avocado, your favorite Daniel Fast compliant salsa, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for an extra burst of flavor.
