1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
5 tablespoons CRISCO® 100% Extra Virgin or Pure Olive Oil
1 lb boneless pork loin chops (1/2 inch thick) or pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Heat oven to 375 °F. Remove pork from marinade; drain pork on paper towels to remove excess moisture. Discard marinade.

Brush 1 tablespoon oil on bottom and sides of 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish or 2 (8-inch square) glass baking dishes. In medium microwavable bowl, place refried beans. Cover with microwavable paper towel; microwave on High about 1 minute or until warm.
To assemble, spoon 2 tablespoons beans down center of each tortilla. Top with pork, onions and cheese. Roll up tortillas; place seam sides down in baking dish. Lightly brush remaining 1 tablespoon oil over tortillas.
Bake uncovered 18 to 24 minutes or until edges of tortillas are golden brown. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
