Preparation

Step 1

Spritz one side of each tortilla with refrigerated butter-flavored spray. Combine the cumin, coriander, chili powder and cayenne; sprinkle over tortillas. Cut each into 12 wedges.

Place in a single layer in ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans. Bake at 425° for 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned.

Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, heat the refried beans on high for 1-2 minutes or until warm. Arrange baked tortillas on serving plates; top with the beans, cheese, tomato and onions. Serve with salsa.
