Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning store-bought or homemade
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 1.5 cup refried beans
  • 8 tortilla 8-inch flour tortillas
  • 0.25 cup vegetable oil for brushing
  • 1 cup red enchilada sauce or thick taco sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 0.75 cup diced tomatoes
  • 0.25 cup sliced black olives
  • 0.25 cup sliced green onions
  • 0.25 cup pickled jalapeño slices optional
  • 0.5 cup sour cream for serving, optional
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment and set aside.
  • Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  • Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and saucy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until spreadable.
  • Brush both sides of the tortillas lightly with vegetable oil. Arrange on baking sheets and bake until lightly crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Spread a thin layer of refried beans over 4 tortillas. Top evenly with the seasoned beef. Place a second tortilla on each to form 4 stacks.
  • Spoon enchilada sauce over the tops (do not soak). Sprinkle evenly with the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
  • Bake until cheese is melted and edges are crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Top with diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and jalapeños. Garnish with cilantro. Slice into quarters and serve with sour cream.

Notes

For a lighter version, use ground turkey and low-sodium beans and sauce. Air-fry tortillas at 370°F for 3 to 4 minutes per side to speed things up. Add a thin layer of refried beans to both tortillas if you like extra stability.
