For the filling
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
Ingredient noteA serving of up to about half a cup of red bell pepper is low in fructose. This recipe contains only about 1/4 of a red bell pepper per serving, making it likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid red bell pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tsp ground cumin
