1. In a saucepan, bring about 2 cups water to a boil. Add the tomatoes and chiles. Cook until the tomatoes and chiles are tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer tomatoes and chiles to a blender. Add the cilantro, garlic, and salt. Blend well. Transfer to a bowl.
2. Prepare the masa dough then, roll the dough into balls 1 1/2 inch in diameter. Cover to keep from drying out. Set up tortilla press. Put 1 piece of plastic on the bottom of the tortilla press. Place 1 dough ball on the plastic covered press. Top the ball with another piece of plastic. Lower the handle and press into 3 1/2- to 4-inch tortilla about 1/8-inch thick. Remove the top piece of plastic. Holding the tortilla with the bottom piece of plastic attached, spread 1 tablespoon of beans on top of the tortilla. Fold tortilla in half, remove the second piece of plastic and shape the tortilla into an oval and pat to flatten. Pinch the edges to seal the beans inside. Repeat until all are filled.
3. Heat a dry nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the filled tortillas on the hot pan, 2 at a time, until light brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until lightly browned. Brush tops lightly with oil. Turn again and cook 1 minute. Brush with oil, turn and cook 1 minute more. Remove to a plate. Cover to keep warm. Repeat until all are cooked. Top each tlacloyo with the tomato sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Serve at once.
