Instructions

Tips
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the refried beans.
- You can also use black beans or pinto beans as a variation for the refried beans.
- To enhance the flavor, try toasting the tortillas on a skillet instead of frying them for a healthier option.
