Instructions
  1. Combine first 5 ingredients and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a medium bowl; toss to coat. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt.
  2. Preheat oven to 450°.
  3. Place zucchini and poblano on a jelly-roll pan; drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with cumin and ¼ teaspoon salt; toss to coat. Bake at 450° for 20 minutes or until tender and lightly browned.
  4. Combine garlic, beans, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Cook 10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Coarsely mash with a potato masher.
  5. Lightly coat both sides of tortillas with cooking spray. Arrange tortillas in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 450° for 6 minutes. Turn tortillas over; bake an additional 3 minutes or until crispy.
  6. Combine avocado, milk, remaining lime juice and pinch of salt in small bowl, stirring with a whisk until smooth. {Alternatively, you can puree it in a mini food processor.}
