PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: 10 minutes
NUMBER OF SERVINGS: 4 or more depending on ages

1 (8 ounce) block Lisanatti RiceCheeze – Mozzarella Style
Shred with a grater.

1 can vegetarian refried beans (reduced sodium & no hydrogenated oil!)
In a saucepan, warm up the beans and mix in the cheese.

8 corn tortillas
Scoop about 2 Tablespoons of the bean and cheese mixture on to the middle of two corn tortillas. Top with the other 2 tortillas. Cook on griddle until warmed and tortillas are toasted – about 5 minutes, flipping over halfway through cooking time.

OPTIONS: Serve with salsa and/or guacamole for dipping. For added color and nutrients, sprinkle cilantro or parsley on top of bean and cheese mixture before topping with tortilla. To save time, shred RiceCheeze in a food processor.
