    Other Ingredients

    Instructions

    • In a medium bowl toss the tomatoes, red onion, scallions, corn, jalapeno, garlic, cilantro, lime juice and salt and pepper to taste.
    • Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a skillet over medium heat.  Wait for oil to heat.
      Fry one or two tortillas at a time until golden brown on both sides.  About a minute or so on each side.
      Continue with the other tortillas.
      Drain on paper towels.
    • Heat refried beans in a skillet over medium heat or place in a microwave safe bowl for a few minutes to soften beans.
