Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef Use lean ground beef for a healthier option.
  • 1 can refried beans Look for refried beans in the canned goods aisle.
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar and mozzarella mix) Feel free to use your favorite cheeses.
  • 2 large flour tortillas Can substitute with corn tortillas for a gluten-free version.
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced olives Black olives are a popular choice.
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions For garnish.
  • sour cream (for serving) Optional.
  • hot sauce (optional) Add for extra spice.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart as it browns, for about 5-7 minutes until no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Spread a generous layer of refried beans on one tortilla, ensuring an even coating.
  4. Layer the cooked taco meat over the beans, then pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the meat.
  5. Generously sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
  6. Gently place the second tortilla on top.
Baking
  1. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the tortillas are crisp.
  2. Once out of the oven, top with diced tomatoes, sliced olives, and chopped green onions.
  3. Slice into wedges and serve hot, alongside sour cream and hot sauce.

Notes

Can customize with additional vegetables or proteins. Best served hot and fresh, and pairs well with guacamole or salsa. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
