• 4

  Stir in chili Mix.
• 5

  Stir in refried beans. Add water, if necessary. Cover and allow to heat through thoroughly.

  Mixture should not be watery. If it is, reduce until filling is dry enough to loosely hold together on a spoon.
• 7

  Remove from heat and allow to sit for 20 minutes for flavors to meld.
• 8

  Layout one tortilla shell. Place one and a half slices Cheese approximately one and one half inches from the bottom edge of the tortilla so that they form a rectangle with the long side running parallel to the bottom edge.

  Loosely spread 3 to 4 heaping tablespoons of filling along the middle of the cheese.
• 10

  Bring the bottom flap of the tortilla up over the filling and roll up to the top, making sure the filing stays on the cheese. Pinkies are useful here.
