Ingredients
1 can (29 oz.) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (4 oz.) sliced ripe olives, drained
1 can (7 oz) diced green chilies
1 cup prepared coleslaw mix with carrots
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Preparation
1. In a bowl combine beans, olives, chilies, coleslaw mix, cheese and 1 cup of
the salsa.
2. Wrap tortillas in a cloth towel and microwave on high until hot and
pliable, about 1 1/2 min. Lay tortillas flat. Spread each with 1/6
of the
bean mixture in a band near the edge. Fold over sides and roll up tightly
to enclose.
3. Place bundles seam side down on a lightly oiled 12 x 15 baking sheet. Bake in
a 425 degree oven until crisp and brown, about 15 minutes. Top each chimi
with additional salsa, Lowfat sour cream and green onions if desired.

I've made these with 1/2 the cheese and they still tasted great.
Note: you can also use fat-free cheese
