1 cup grated monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend
¹⁄₄ cup chopped cilantro
1 cup chopped tomato
¹⁄₄ cup extra virgin olive oil or 1/4 cup canola oil

directions

On half of each tortilla, sprinkle 1/4 beans and cheese.
Heat half of oil in a large nonstick skillet to medium high.
Fold tortilla over filling, place carefully into skillet, 2 per batch (after making the first batch, add oil as needed to ensure a nice, golden brown color on the tortillas).
Cook 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown on each side.
Remove, pat dry with paper towels, place onto plate, cut into 4 wedges, and garnish with cilantro and tomato, with a dollop of sour cream on the side, if desired.
