Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey/chicken)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tablespoons homemade blend)
  • ⅔ cup water (for the meat mixture)
  • 8 small flour tortillas (6-inch size)
  • 1 can (15 oz) refried beans
  • ¼ cup water (to thin the beans)
  • 1 cup red enchilada sauce or mild taco sauce
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (or cheddar/Monterey Jack)
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup sliced green onions
  • ¼ cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • Oil for frying tortillas (or cooking spray if baking)

Instructions

  1. Cook ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add taco seasoning and ⅔ cup water to the meat. Simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  3. Warm the refried beans with ¼ cup water in a small saucepan until spreadable.
  4. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a skillet and fry each tortilla until golden and crisp, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Assemble by spreading warmed refried beans on 4 crispy tortillas.
  6. Top the beans with the seasoned meat mixture, dividing evenly.
  7. Place another crispy tortilla on top of each meat layer to create a sandwich.
  8. Spoon enchilada sauce over the top tortillas, then sprinkle with cheese.
  9. Add diced tomatoes, green onions, and black olives (if using) on top.
  10. Optional: Place under the broiler for a minute to melt the cheese completely.

Notes

For extra crunch, fry the tortillas until very crispy. Customize your toppings with jalapeños, corn, or any favorites. For a healthier option, use whole wheat tortillas and lean proteins.
