Heat a couple of inches of oil in a skillet on about medium heat.

2
When its hot, drop in a tortilla.

Let each tortilla cook until they are crispy on both sides, but not brown.

Drain each and place on a cookie sheet.

(Like the beans, just about any kind of cheese that you like with refried beans will do.

Cheddar, colby jack, etc.)
