Preparation time: 15 minutes, Cooking time: 35 minutes, Serves: 8 

Ingredients

9 (6 inch) flour tortillas
2 cups refried beans

1/2 cup cilantro (coriander)
Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Pour one cup of salsa into a 9 x 12 inch pan. Lay 3 tortillas on the bottom of the pan to cover completely (you will have to cut one tortilla into smaller pieces).

Top with one cup of refried beans, then one cup of chese, 1/4 cup onion, 1/4 cup black olives and 1/4 cup cilantro. Pout 1 cup of the salsa evenly over the ingredients and top with 1 more cup of the cheese.
