8 Corn tortillas , torn into large pieces

8 ounces Cooked kidney beans

2 Large tomatoes , seeds removed and cut into a small dice (reserve some for garnish)

6 ounces Mozzarella , torn into small pieces

6 ounces Grated Monterey Jack , shredded

1/4 bunch Fresh cilantro , chopped rough (reserve some for garnish)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°. Arrange the torn pieces of tortilla on a baking sheet and bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until the tortillas are crispy. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
