Cook until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.
Melt or heat 1 teaspoon of the butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add a tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle cheese evenly on top, then spread some of the bean mixture evenly.
Add another tortilla on top, cook until golden, then flip and cook on the other side.
Melt or heat more butter or oil as needed, and repeat with remaining tortillas and filling until all the ingredients have been used up.
