Ingredients

4-6 10-inch flour tortillas* 1 (19 oz) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained 1 cup salsa 4 green onions, chopped ¼ cup chopped green olives 2 tablespoons fresh coriander or parsley 11/3 cups shredded extra-old Cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack

Preparation

  1. Arrange tortillas on work surface. In bowl, using potato masher**, mash beans along with ½ cup of the salsa. Divide among tortillas, spreading evenly and leaving ½-inch border.
  2. Sprinkle bean mixture with onions, then olives; sprinkle with coriander, then cheese. Fold tortillas over and press gently to seal.
  3. Place on greased grill*** over medium-high heat; cook, turning halfway through, for 8 to 10 minutes or until browned and crisp. Garnish with remaining salsa*.

Keilaron's Notes

* I accidentally used the whole 1 cup of salsa in the bean mixture, which made for more filling (and leaving none for garnishing). I had 7-inch tortillas and used 7, I believe. ** Don't use a potato masher if you can't. That's asking for pain. You can try a large serving spoon instead, I seemed to have more success with that. *** I did not use a grill, oddly enough! I cooked them on a large frypan, medium-low, 2 at a time, 4 minutes each side.
