# What You'll Need:
→ Protein
01 -
1 lb ground beef, lean
→ Seasoning
02 -
1 packet taco seasoning mix (approx. 2 tablespoons)
03 -
6 fl oz water (3/4 cup)
→ Beans & Sauce
04 -
1 cup refried beans
05 -
4 fl oz enchilada sauce (1/2 cup)
→ Dairy
06 -
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
→ Tortillas & Oil
07 -
8 8-inch flour tortillas
08 -
Vegetable oil for frying (approx. 1 cup)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown and crumble the ground beef. Drain excess fat, then return beef to skillet. Add taco seasoning and water, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
02 -
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Fry tortillas one at a time for 2-4 minutes, flipping frequently, until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.
03 -
Heat refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl until warm to facilitate spreading.
04 -
Spread a generous layer of warmed refried beans onto each fried tortilla, then evenly distribute the seasoned ground beef on top.
05 -
Place a second fried tortilla on top of the beef layer. Spread about 2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce evenly across the tortilla, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
06 -
Arrange assembled tortillas on a large nonstick baking sheet and bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately with preferred toppings.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For crispier tortillas without frying, bake tortillas at 400°F until crisp, or use an air fryer.
02 -
Leftovers store well in an airtight container up to 2 days or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
