This is a quickly prepared snack or meal, which we consider to be one
of our fun (but healthful) foods, which we make in our microwave oven in
just a few minutes. Place a 6-inch corn tortilla on a microwaveable
plate. (To enlarge the photo of the

Place the plate with the tortilla in the microwave oven, and heat on
high (1,000 watts) for 40 seconds, which will cause it to puff up. Use
less time if the wattage is higher, and more time if the wattage is
lower. (To enlarge the photo of the

Turn the tortilla over, and heat on high for about another 30
seconds, or until the tortilla just begins to brown (the maximum you
want to brown the tortilla is like the one in the photo). Be careful
not to over cook. We have found that different microwave ovens
cook differently, so once you get the timing correct on the first
tortilla, adjust this recipe for those cooking times. (To enlarge

Remove the plate and tortilla from the microwave oven, turn the
tortilla over and place 1 heaping tablespoon of the
Pinto Beans - Tex-Mex Style mix on the
toasted tortilla and smooth out to the near the edge. (To enlarge

Place the plate and tortilla back into the microwave oven, and cook
on high heat for another minute, or until the shininess of the pinto
bean mix disappears and shown in the photo. Serve and Enjoy! They make a
great lunch with a tossed salad. (To enlarge the photo of the
