After

Ingredients

2 flour Tortilla
Vegetable of your own choice : corn, tomatoes, hot peppers, olives
I used only onions and capsicum
Mozzarella cheese
Refried kidney beans
McCormick Taco seasoning
Butter
Ragu sauce

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Take refried kidney beans, crush them in the processor and add taco seasoning.
Take flour tortilla and apply some butter on it
Apply the seasoned beans on the tortilla then add cheese and some ragu sauce
Afterwards apply another tortilla on top and apply some butter on it.
After putting the filling in, put it in the oven until the tortilla becomes little brown on the top, then flip it and put it back in the oven so other side can turn little brown and crispy.
After having both sides crispy, take it out and apply some ragu sauce, cheese, all the veggies you want. then put it back in the oven until cheese melts.
