Directions
Step 1
*Prepare roasted red pepper, if applicable: If using fresh bell pepper, cut in half lengthwise, remove seeds and roast, broil, or grill about 10 minutes or until blackened. Wrap in foil and let rest 5 minutes. Peel skins and cut pepper into strips. (If using pre-roasted/jarred red pepper, skip and proceed to next step.)
Step 2
Add lime juice, oregano, olive oil, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, cayenne, and black beans to the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times until coarsely chopped.
Step 3
Heat a skillet or grill pan over high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Arrange sliced zucchini and onions on pan and grill 5 minutes on each side.
Step 4
Spread black bean mixture onto each slice of bread; top four of the slices with grilled zucchini, onion, and red bell pepper. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, salt, and cheese. Top with remaining bread slices, spread side down.
Step 5
Coat both sides of sandwiches with cooking spray. Place sandwiches on grill pan (in batches if necessary) and top with a heavy skillet. (Alternatively, you can use a panini press.) Grill sandwiches 2-3 minutes per side or until cheese is melted. Serve warm.
