Instructions
In a small pot, warm the refried beans.
Set a cast iron frying pan (whatever type of frying pan you have will work fine, but the cast iron provides more even heat), over medium meat. Add a small amount of oil or butter to the pan and allow it to heat up.
Lay a tortilla on a plate or flat surface. Spoon some of the warmed refried beans onto it and smooth out all over the tortilla as you were icing a cake. Leave about ½-inch of space around the outer edge and place it in the preheated pan.
Quickly, add the cheese and top with another tortilla.
Let the "pizza" cook for about 1 to 1 ½ minutes before flipping.
Using a spatula, flip the pizza over and allow the other side to crisp for 1 to 1 ½ minutes.
Carefully slide the "pizza" onto a plate. Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice it up as you would a pizza. (It is best to cut the pizza before adding the toppings.
Garnish with any toppings you choose. Serve immediately.
