  • 16 smallfajita size flour tortillas
  • 1 canrefried beans
  • taco sauce
  • 2 cupsshredded colby jack cheese
  • diced tomatoes
  • chopped green onions
  • vegetable oil

Directions

  1. 1

    Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add a chopped onion. Once beef is fully cooked drain any extra grease.

  2. 2

    Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, dried cilantro, and cayenne. Add minced garlic and stir.

  3. 3

    While the beef is cooking lightly fry flour tortillas in a separate skillet over medium-heat. Add just enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the skillet. Fry tortillas on both sides until golden brown (this usually only takes 1-2 minutes on each side). Once tortillas are fried place them on paper towels to absorb any extra grease.

  4. 4

    Heat up refried beans to make them easier to work with. Spread refried beans on top of flour tortillas. Add a scoop of ground beef. Add a little bit of shredded cheese and add another fried tortilla. Spoon some taco sauce on top of the tortilla and top with more shredded cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake at 400 degrees F for about 10 minutes. Top with diced tomatoes and chopped green onions. Enjoy!
