Ingredients

  • 8 flour tortillas, soft taco sized
  • Oil for frying
  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 can or  1 1/2 c. homemade refried beans
  • 1/3 can taco sauce
  • 2 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced tomato
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions

Instructions

  • In a small skillet, heat 1/2 inch oil over medium heat. Add the tortillas one at a time and cook about 20 – 30 seconds per side, until lightly browned and crispy. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, cook ground beef. Drain. Stir in seasonings. Add 1/4 c. water, bring to a boil and simmer until thickened. Remove meat with a slotted spoon and add refried beans to pan. Cook over low heat until warmed.
  • Take 4 crisped tortillas and spread with the refried beans on each. Add the ground beef and evenly spread over each tortilla. Top each with a second tortilla. Spoon an even amount of taco sauce over the tortillas and top with shredded cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 – 10 minutes, until cheese is melted. Or, place under a broiler just until the cheese melts.
  • Sprinkle each with diced tomatoes and green onions. Cut into quarters before serving.
