Ingredients

6 large flour tortillas
4 ounces Cheddar or American Cheese, sliced into strips
1 can (16 oz) Refried beans
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 can (4 oz) diced green chile peppers, drained
1 teaspoon Chili powder
1 medium Tomato, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup sliced green onions, for garnish
optional Taco sauce

Directions

1
Preheat the oven to 350F (175C).
2
Wrap the six flour tortillas tightly in aluminum foil.
3
Place the foil-wrapped tortillas in the preheated oven and warm for 10 minutes to make them pliable.
4
While the tortillas warm, cut the cheese into six even sticks or strips.
5
In a medium bowl, combine the refried beans, 1/2 cup chopped green onions, drained green chile peppers, and chili powder. Stir until well blended.
6
Remove one tortilla from the foil bundle, keeping the remaining tortillas covered to stay warm and soft.
7
Spread approximately 1/3 cup of the bean mixture onto the tortilla, spreading it to within 2 inches of the edge.
8
Top the bean mixture with about 1 tablespoon of the chopped tomato.
9
Place one cheese stick in the center of the tortilla on top of the beans and tomato.
10
Fold the two sides of the tortilla inward over the filling.
11
Roll the tortilla up tightly from the bottom edge, jelly-roll style, to form a bundle.
12
Place the seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
13
Repeat the assembly process with the remaining five tortillas, bean mixture, tomato, and cheese sticks.
14
Bake the bundles in the 350F (177C) oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted.
15
Serve the bundles warm. Spoon taco sauce over each bundle and sprinkle with additional sliced green onions if desired.
