A really cheap Mexican Pizza

Craving fast food and short of time/cash/desire to eat lard? Try this. Serves two.

Four tortillas - any kind/flavor, any size
One can refried beans
One can diced tomatoes with jalapenos, drained
1/4 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack, Colby, Cheddar, whatever's on sale)
2 tbsp sour cream
Adobo seasoning, to taste (if you don't have this, garlic powder, salt and pepper will work)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toast tortillas directly upon center oven rack for 5-10 minutes or until slightly crispy. Remove tortillas from oven, and spread two with 1/4 can each of refried beans. Sprinkle bean-topped tortillas with a few light shakes of adobo seasoning. Top each with another tortilla. On top of each pizza, scatter 1/4 can of tomatoes and top with cheese. Put back into oven (directly upon center oven rack again) for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted and tortillas are crispy. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes, then slice into quarters. Serve each pizza with one tablespoon of sour cream.

Bonus: Now you're left with a half can each of beans and spicy tomatoes. Mix these together and refrigerate; congratulations, you have bean dip for tomorrow. Olé!
