  2. Add sliced mini bell peppers and sauté until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in black beans, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and chipotle powder (if using). Sauté for another 2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.
  4. Spread mixture evenly over half of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese.
