Instructions

In a small sauce pan, heat refried beans with green salsa, salt and lime juice. Stir a few times and heat all the way through.
Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large cast iron skillet. Spread an 1/8 of the refried beans into a tortilla and sprinkle generously with cheddar cheese. Fold in half and repeat with two other tortillas.
Fry tacos two-three at time in the skillet on medium-high heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortillas are lightly brown and crispy and cheese is melted.
If desired, top with pickled jalapeños.
