Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 (15 ounce) can refried beans
  • 1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • 8 taco-sized flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease.
  3. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 4–5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla 4–5 minutes, flipping frequently, until crisp and golden. Repeat with all tortillas.
  5. Spread 1/4 cup refried beans over one crispy tortilla. Top with seasoned beef.
  6. Place a second tortilla on top. Spread about 2 tablespoons enchilada sauce over the top tortilla.
  7. Sprinkle diced tomatoes and shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Transfer to baking sheet and bake 8–10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from oven, cool slightly, slice into quarters, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Fully crisp tortillas before assembling to prevent sogginess.
  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • For vegetarian version, use seasoned black beans or sautéed vegetables.
  • Reheat in oven or air fryer to maintain crisp texture.
  • Freezing after assembly is not recommended.
