Heat oven to 350 degrees. Chop onion, pepper, carrot. (The food processor is great for this--just throw them all in at once!) Put in hot oven-safe skillet with oil or Pam, garlic and jalapeno. Cook 3-5 minutes or until carrots begin to soften. Add marjarom, coriander and black beans; stir.

Place skillet in oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven; top with cheese. Replace in oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with soft flour or corn tortillas (I especially like it on whole-wheat flour tortillas).
