instructions
    1

    Start by grating the zucchini and chopping the bell pepper into small pieces.

    2

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the grated zucchini and chopped bell pepper, cooking for about 3 to 4 minutes until they are slightly softened.

    3

    Add the spinach to the skillet, stirring for another 2 minutes until it wilts down. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    4

    Take one corn tortilla and sprinkle cheese on half of it. Layer a portion of the vegetable mixture on top of the cheese and add some slices of avocado. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

    5

    In the same skillet, heat a little oil if needed, and place the folded tortilla in the skillet. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

    6

    Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

    7

    Serve warm with salsa on the side for dipping.
