Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Butternut squash is the best choice for this recipe, as it has a sweet and nutty flavor that pairs well with the black beans and spices. Other good options include acorn squash or kabocha squash.
- Roast the squash ahead of time: Roasting the squash ahead of time will save you time when you're assembling the burritos. You can roast the squash up to 3 days in advance.
- Use fresh black beans: Fresh black beans are the best choice for this recipe, as they have a more flavorful and creamy texture than canned black beans. If you're using canned black beans, be sure to rinse them well before using.
- Add your favorite toppings: Feel free to add your favorite toppings to the burritos, such as cheese, salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
