--------  ------------  -------------------------------- 
   2      tsps          olive oil 
   1      sm            green pepper -- diced 
   2      sm            onions -- sliced thin 
   2      cloves        garlic -- minced 
   1 1/4  c             water 
   2      c             pinto beans 
   3      tbsps         tomato paste 
     1/2  tsp           cumin 
     1/2  tsp           chili powder 
   8                    tortillas -- 7" in diameter 
     1/2  c             Monterey jack cheese -- shredded 
 
Preheat oven at 350.  Prepare a 11 x 7" pan with cooking spray.  In a
skillet, heat oil over moderate heat.  Add pepper, onions, and garlic and
cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until onions are
lightly browned.  Add 3/4 cup water and cook, uncovered, another 5 minutes
or until vegetables are very soft and almost all liquid has evaporated. 
Add beans, tomato paste, cumin, chili powder, and remaining 1/2 cup water
and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. With a potato
masher or spoon, mash mixture until smooth.  Place 2 tablespoons of bean
mixture on each tortilla and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the cheese. 
Roll up the tortillas and place them, seam side down, in a single layer in
prepared pan. Using a pastry brush, brush each tortilla with a little
water.  Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes or until
tortillas are piping hot.
