4. Spread an even layer of refried beans over the tortillas.
5. In a large skillet heat the canola oil over medium high heat.
6. Add the onion and beef to the pan and saute for about 5 minutes; breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it is no longer pink.
7. Pour off and discard any excess liquid, stir in the salsa.
8. Spread meat mixture over the refried beans, sprinkle on optional jalapeno peppers.
9. Top with tortilla strips and sprinkle on cheddar cheese.
