These quick appetisers start with crisp flour tortillas. They are spread with refried beans and a layer of taco sauce, then topped with chopped red and green bell peppers, sliced green onions, and optional red pepper flakes. A generous sprinkle of four-cheese Mexican blend finishes them before a final bake to melt the cheese. They are then cut into wedges for serving. The whole process takes only 18 minutes.
