Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
- 1 tablespoon salsa
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 6 (8 inch) flour tortillas

Steps
- Combine refried beans, salsa, chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin in a mixing bowl; stir until smooth.
- Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the bean mixture onto the center of a tortilla and smooth into a thin layer. Sprinkle with a large pinch of shredded cheese and roll tightly. Repeat with remaining bean mixture, tortillas, and cheese.
