Variations
The Mexican Bean mix can be made in large batches and frozen in advance. This same recipe is also suitable for use in Burritos or as a topping for nachos, potato skins or wedges so is very versatile and can be used to offer a number of choices on your menu. A halved tortilla fits perfectly into a square foil tray as pictured.
