1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon olive oil

8 flour tortillas

2 cups black beans, cooked

Heat oven to 375F. Cut chicken into 1/2-inch slices. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, saute peppers, onions and chili powder in hot oil until vegetables are slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Place 4 tortillas on a large baking sheet. Evenly spread beans over tortillas. Top with pepper mixture, chicken and cheese. Top each with remaining tortillas and press down lightly.
