Ingredients

  • 1 x 8 inch low-carb whole grain tortilla
  • canola oil in a misting bottle
  • ¼ cup low-fat refried beans

Place a 8 to 10-inch skillet over medium heat until hot.

Place the tortilla in the hot pan and cook 30 seconds to one minute or until lightly browned.

4

Turn the tortilla over and repeat.

5

Remove from the pan and cool.

6
