I refried some kidney beans and black beans and added them for protein. It was excellent.
I tried it and it was great. Everyone really enjoyed the mix and they could see how easy it would be to change it up with different veggies. For my peppers, I sliced them into strips and sprayed them with Pam before putting into the oven. This eliminated the peeling and cutting step later. Next I will add it with kidney beans and black beans like Jakobpunkt mentioned.
My husband doesn't care for avocado, but I loved it. In his, I followed someone elses advice and added some beans instead. Not bad! HOWEVER!! I followed the directions for broiling (10 min). By minute 8, things were smoky and charred, we had to peel the top tortilla off and start with a new one. If you're going this route, watch closely to make sure things don't get burnt!!!
