Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 can 15 oz refried beans
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup sour cream optional
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro optional

Method
 

  1. Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up, until it reaches 160°F. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the refried beans and heat through.
  3. Warm the tortillas for about 20 seconds so they are pliable.
  4. Divide the hot beef-and-bean mixture among the tortillas. Top with cheese and salsa.
  5. Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Microwave briefly if needed to melt the cheese.
  6. Serve immediately with optional sour cream and cilantro.

Notes

Feel free to customize by adding your family's favorite toppings, such as avocado slices, jalapeños, or diced tomatoes. For a healthier version, use whole wheat tortillas and low-fat cheese.
