My vegetarian husband goes crazy over these every time! They are really cheesy, a little bit spicy, and a little bit sweet. Feel free to play around and add chicken or veggies, if you desire. Don't forget the salsa and sour cream!

Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.

Melt 2 teaspoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Place a tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle evenly with cheese, then top with some of the bean mixture.

Place another tortilla on top, cook until golden, then flip and cook on the other side.

Melt more butter as needed, and repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
