I have a recipe request: I have too many cans of refried beans and I'm trying to avoid going out and shopping for much, but I have your basic staples including tortillas and I think at least one can of black beans.

I'm not a big fan of canned refried beans by themselves and usually put them into quesadillas, etc. So any good recipes to either doctor up the beans so they taste good on their own or to put them in something?

I like to make tostados with refried beans. You could also do a bean dip or bean and cheese burritos- you also can add meat to those.

Easy Refried Bean Dip

1 can beans
1 package taco seasoning
8 oz. sour cream
shredded pepper jack cheese, divided (as much as desired)

Mix sour cream and taco seasoning in mixing bowl. Add beans. Stir until well-blended. Add some pepper jack. Pour (ha! like you could pour this mixture!) into greased 8x8 pan. Top with pepper jack. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until the beans are bubbly and the cheese is golden brown (20ish minutes - I never use a timer - you'll know when it looks right).

Serve with tortilla chips.
