Serves a fiesta of friends
Ingredients:
- 1 pack of organic corn tortillas
- 2 14oz cans refried beans
- 1 jar Que Pasa salsa
- ½ bunch green onion, sliced
- ½-¾ cup grated cheese of your choice (dairy or non dairy)
- fresh jalapenos sliced (optional)
- pitted olives sliced (optional)
- sour cream (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Warm up tortillas in microwave (or the oven as it heats up) – just enough to soften the tortillas – this step helps prevent tortillas from tearing. Then, using a circle-shaped cookie cutter (or even possibly the top of a mug or jar) cut out tortillas to fit your mini muffin tin. (Test one before cutting all of them.)
- Press the warm, circle tortillas into the mini muffin tin and bake for 10-12 minutes – until the tortillas are crispy and slightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and – if you’re serving right away – begin to layer the rest of the ingredients. (If not serving immediately – simply prep the shells and finish the recipe shortly before serving.) Add a little dollop of refried beans into each shell, followed by a little scoop of salsa, green onion, grated cheese and a slice of jalapeno or olive if you like.
- Put the tray back in the oven for up to 5 minutes – just enough to melt the cheese. Serve immediately with a little dollop of sour cream on top if you like!
