Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Beans
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the refried beans. Stir occasionally until heated through, about 5 minutes. If the beans are too thick, add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.
- 2
Prepare the Tortillas
In a separate skillet, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap them in aluminum foil and heat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
Assembly
- 3
Assemble the Bean & Cheese
Spread a generous spoonful of the warm refried beans onto the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beans. You can add ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Fold and Heat
Fold the tortillas in half, enclosing the filling. Place the folded tortillas back in the skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are slightly crispy.

Serve with Toppings
