Bean Boquitas - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can refried beans
12 (6 inch) flour tortillas
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
vegetable oil (for frying)
salsa, to serve
guacamole, to serve

Preparation

In a medium bowl, mash refried beans with a fork to loosen them.
Cut tortillas in half. Fill each half with 1 heaping teaspoon of refried beans.
Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of grated cheese. Fold tortilla over to form a fan shape.
In a large frying pan, heat 1 inch of vegetable oil until thermometer registers 350*.
Fry boquitas in batches without crowding, squeezing edges closed with tongs when you turn them, until golden brown, 1-2 minutes on each side.
With a slotted spoon, transfer boquitas to paper towels to drain. Serve hot with salsa and/or guacamole on the side.
