Steps:

• 1. Heat 1 tablespoon of water in a large frying pan or soup pot over medium-high heat. When the water starts to sputter, add the onion and bell pepper, and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, and add the garlic, chili powder, oregano, and basil, and cook for 2 minutes more, adding a little water as needed to prevent sticking.

• 3. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Set aside a 9×13-inch casserole dish (you do not need to prepare it with any oil or parchment paper).
• 4. Place 1 cup of the cooked vegetables into a blender, and blend until smooth (add a little water if the mixture is too thick to blend). Stir this back into the cooked vegetables.
• 5. Spoon the mixture into the casserole dish, and scatter the remaining 2 cut-up corn tortillas on the top. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes. Set aside for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

• In a skillet with a lid (or large saucepan), heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and saute about one minute.
• Add zucchini, stir, salt lightly, lower heat, and cover.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are transparent and zucchini is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, warm the tortillas in a microwave (covered with a damp paper towel, about 1 minute) or oven (3-4 minutes @ 400 degrees) until soft & pliable.
• Mix the tomato topping: Pour tomato ingredients and chilies in a bowl and mix well.
• Spread about 3 tablespoons of the tomato topping in the bottom of the baking dish.
• When the tortillas are ready, spread about 3 tablespoons beans along one side of a tortilla, roll it up, and place it open-end down in the baking dish. Additional ingredients can be added during this step, if desired. Repeat with the remaining beans and tortillas. Don't stress out if the tortillas rip, as they will be buried and saucy before you're done.
