Ingredients

  • 2 cans black beans
  • 1 can rotel (or a bag of frozen homemade)
  • 2 cups Mexican style shredded cheese
  • 4 flour tortillas

Instructions

  • Add half of the black beas to a bowl, and using the back of a spoon or a potato masher, mash the beans into a paste.
  • Add the rotel and stir well.
  • Heat a griddle on medium heat, or you can use a 10 inch or larger skillet over medium heat on the stove if you don’t have a griddle.
  • Set a tortilla on the griddle, and spoon ¼ of the mixture onto one side, then spread over half of the tortilla.
  • Add ¼ of the remaining black beans all over on top of the bean and rotel mixture.
  • Sprinkle ½ cup of cheese over the beans and rotel.
  • Fold the other half of the tortilla onto the half covered in ingredients, and grill for 3-5 minutes, or until one side is golden.
  • Carefully flip the tortilla over, and cook the other side until golden.
