Prep: 45 min. Broil: 5 min.

Yield: 8 Servings

45 5 50

Ingredients

10 medium red potatoes, cubed
3 bay leaves
1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1-1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon pepper
10 eggs, beaten
10 flour tortillas (10 inches), warmed
4 cups (16 ounces) shredded cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

Place the potatoes, bay leaves and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5-6 minutes or until almost tender. Drain and discard bay leaves.
In a large skillet, cook the green and red peppers, onion and potatoes in 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Add the beans, corn, jalapeno, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, pepper and remaining salt; heat through.
In a large skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add eggs. Cook and stir until almost set. Add to potato mixture.
Spoon 1 cup filling off center on each tortilla. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Fold sides and ends over filling and roll up. Place on a greased baking sheet; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 10 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
