Preparation

Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.
Wash and dry all produce.
Halve tomatoes.
Roughly chop cilantro.
Zest, then juice lime.
In a small bowl, stir together chipotle sauce, sour cream and half the lime juice. Set aside.

In another small bowl, add tomatoes, half the cilantro, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lime zest, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) oil and remaining lime juice.
Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Set aside.

Using a strainer, drain and rinse black beans.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then onions. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until onions soften. Add Mexican Seasoning. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, to toast.
Add beans and 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) water, stirring occasionally, until liquid reduces slightly. Remove the pan from heat. Mash beans until most are crushed. Season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, on an unlined baking sheet, arrange tortillas in a single layer, without overlapping. (NOTE: For 4 servings, use 2 baking sheets.)
Brush both sides of tortillas with 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil. Poke each tortilla a few times with a fork.
Toast in the middle of the oven for 2-4 min per side, until golden and crisp. (NOTE: For 4 servings, toast in the middle and bottom of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.) (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.)

Divide refried black beans between toasted tortillas. Spread out to cover the base of each tortilla completely.
Sprinkle feta over top.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 2-4 min, until warmed through. (NOTE: For 4 servings, bake in the middle and bottom of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
