Ingredients

The following ingredients have 20 Servings
  • 10 corn tortillas
  • Canola Oil
  • Salt
  • 16 ounces refried beans
  • 12 ounces shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
  • Pickled jalapeno peppers for topping
  • Diced tomato for topping
  • Crema or sour cream for serving
  • Favorite hot sauce for serving

Instruction

  • Slice the corn tortillas in half and set aside.
  • Add enough canola oil to a large pot to fill about 1.5 inches and heat to medium. Do not bring to a boil. The temp should measure 375 degrees F.
  • Add the halved tortillas in small batches and fry them about a minute or so per side, until they are lightly browned and crispy. Drain on paper towels and dash them with salt.
  • When they are cooled, spread a spoonful of refried beans over each tortilla, then top them with Monterrey Jack cheese.
  • Bake them at 350 degrees F about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is nicely melted.
  • Serve with pickled jalapeno peppers and diced tomato over the tops, with crema and hot sauce on the side.
  • Extra hot sauce for me!
