  medium. Do not bring to a boil. The temp should measure 375 degrees F.
• 3 Add the halved tortillas in small batches and fry them about a minute or so per
  side, until they are lightly browned and crispy. Drain on paper towels and dash
  them with salt.
• 4 When they are cooled, spread a spoonful of refried beans over each tortilla,
  then top them with Colby Jack cheese and top with jalapeno peppers.
• 5 Bake them at 350 degrees F about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is nicely
  melted.

• 7 Extra hot sauce for me!
