Beans, Beans, The Musical Fruit Wraps

Myles Smith from Notre Dame School had fun with the title of this recipe. You can buy refried beans in a can and wrap them with tomatoes and cheese in a tortilla for a satisfying lunch, snack or supper. Or, make your own "refried beans" using a can of your favourite beans - red kidney, pinto or black beans, for example. The recipe was submitted through the Orillia & Area Nutrition Network.
