Tortillas and Cheese

Homemade Cheese Dip

Method

Prepare the Tortillas and Cheese

  1. 1

    Heat Tortillas

    In a skillet over medium heat, warm each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 2

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle 1/3 cup of cheddar cheese on each tortilla and allow it to melt, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Top with Onions

    Once the cheese is melted, sprinkle the chopped onions over the cheese, and then fold the tortillas in half.

Prepare the Refried Beans

  1. 4

    Cook Beans

    In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the canned refried beans, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Stir and Heat

    Stir well to combine all ingredients and cook until heated through, about 5-7 minutes.

Prepare the Homemade Cheese Dip
