Cook the dough rounds on a hot dry griddle over medium heat, turning once, until puffed in places and cooked through with brown spots on both sides. Keep them wrapped in a clean towel.

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion until soft, then stir in the garlic and cook briefly.

Add the mashed red beans and salt. Cook, stirring, until the beans are thick, smooth, and spreadable.

Open each warm flatbread, spread in the bean filling, add the sour cream, and finish with the crumbled queso seco cheese. Fold and serve warm.
