Ingredients
- Flour tortillas
- Ground beef
- Taco seasoning
- Refried beans
- Enchilada sauce or taco sauce
- Shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese blend
- Diced tomatoes
- Sliced black olives (optional)
- Green onions (optional)
- Sour cream and salsa for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain fat, then add taco seasoning with a splash of water. Simmer until thickened.
- Heat refried beans until warm and spreadable.
- Bake or pan-fry tortillas for 2–3 minutes per side until crispy.
- On a baking sheet, spread beans over one crispy tortilla, top with seasoned beef, and add another tortilla on top.
- Spoon enchilada or taco sauce over the top, sprinkle with cheese, and add tomatoes and olives if using.
- Bake for 5–7 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Slice and serve hot with green onions, sour cream, and salsa if desired.
Notes
- Use shredded chicken, ground turkey, or black beans as protein alternatives.
- Add jalapeños or spicy sauce for extra heat.
- Vegetarian? Skip the meat and use beans, corn, and sautéed peppers.
- For ultra-crispy tortillas, lightly oil them and bake or fry until golden.
- Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.
