Mexican Appetizers

Try to find this Simply Rustic French Bread from Pillsbury. It’s my favorite.

Unroll from can and cut into 1 inch slices.

Once they are cut, press then out slightly to get ready for the cupcake pan.

Press into your cupcake cups and get ready for the filling.

Stir the refried beans to soften.

Mix your favorite salsa brand into the refried beans. I love the Chipotle Salsa from Trader Joe’s.

Scoop about 2 tablespoons bean mixture into the dough cups.

Like so 🙂

Top each with a pinch of cheese and bake for about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes and enjoy!!
