Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • ½ cup refried beans
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 8 corn tortillas (6-inch)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Sour cream, salsa, and avocado for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning and 2 tbsp water, simmer 1 minute.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment. Warm the tortillas briefly, spread each with refried beans, then add beef and cheese. Fold and brush both sides with oil. Arrange on the sheet with a little space between them.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes, until the bottoms are golden and the cheese starts bubbling.
  4. Flip the tacos carefully and bake another 8 to 10 minutes, until deep golden and crisp.
  5. Let them rest on the pan for 2 minutes, then serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Toppings like sour cream and salsa turn these into a full meal. You can use any cooked, well-seasoned filling you have on hand—the method works with shredded chicken or black beans, too.
