Instructions:
Instructions: Soft flour tortillas, 7 to 9 inch diameter, are filled with potatoes, bell= peppers, and refried beans. We substituted a can of pintos that was preseasoned with a bit of chipotle chili; coarsely chopped rather than mashed the beans. This version is spicier than the original.

* Prepare the potatoes first. Drain and air cool.
* Heat a little oil in large skillet, saute onion and garlic until softened. Add a most of or all of the remaining oil and add the bell peppers, potatoes, diced chili, and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes until potatoes are a warm brown. Add the beans and mix well. Season with salt, pepper, cilantro, chili powder. Heat through.

* Use vegetable spray to lightly coat a cookie sheet. Set oven to 350F/180C.
* Lay a tortilla on a cutting board and fill with 1/4 of the skillets mixture, along one edge so that you can roll the tortilla into a buritto. Place the tortilla on the sheet with folded side up; repeat. Use a little vegetable spray on each folded tortilla.
* Scatter the grated cheese on top along the fold. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
** Meanwhile, mix the salsa ingredients in order listed, adding more or less tomato juice as needed. Do not add the lime juice at this time. Use a hot pepper sauce sparingly to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Stir and refresh with lime juice. (Note: leave peel on cucumber for more color and fiber.

Scrub well.)

Cooks TIP: If tortillas have been in the refrigerator for a while, put a splatter screen on top of the pot while the potatoes are cooking and soften the tortillas with steam. Wrap in foil, if necessary, to keep warm and pliable.
