Ingredients

• 1 refried bean recipe
• 1 baleadas recipe, just the dough
• 1 grilled guacamole recipe
• 5 Tbsp hot sauce
• 5 oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 2/3 cup light sour cream
• 2/3 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 tomato, chopped

Preparation

1. Make refried beans according to recipe and set aside.
2. Make baleadas recipe, steps 1-2 only. While the dough is resting, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
3. Divide each 16th of dough into four equal parts. Spray 2 mini-muffin tins with cooking spray - one in the cups and one on the bottom. Place each quarter piece of dough into a muffin cup, and press down until evenly distributed in the cup. Place the bottom-sprayed tin on top of dough and press down. Place tin in oven and put an oven-proof pot or foil-wrapped brick on top. Bake 20 minutes, rotating half-way through. Remove from oven, turn onto cooling rack and let cool. Repeat with remaining dough.
4. Make grilled guacamole according to recipe and set aside.
5. Turn oven heat down to 350 degrees. When cupcake shells are cooled, put 1/2 Tbsp of refried beans into each. Top with 1/2 tsp hot sauce and 1/2 tsp cheddar cheese. Bake 5 minutes and repeat with remaining shells.
