Heat up a large, flat bottomed skillet (large enough to hold a tortilla flat) or griddle on medium low heat.

Place one tortilla on the hot skillet for about 10 seconds, Flip over and heat the other side for 10 seconds.  You are not trying to fry these, just warm them enough to be pliable.  Remove from the pan onto your work surface.  I use a large cutting board.

On the side nearest you, smear 1/8th of the refried beans across the nearest 1/3, in a straight line the same length as your hot dogs.  Next, place a hot dog on top of the beans.
