Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef (93% Lean)
1 oz. taco seasoning
¼ cup water
1 tbsp oil
16 corn tortillas
16 oz. refried beans pinto or black
10 oz. red enchilada sauce
4 Roma tomatoes finely diced
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
3 green onions finely chopped

Instructions

To Prep:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and use a wooden spoon to crumble while it cooks. When almost done, add the taco seasoning and water, stirring to combine. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until beef reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. Transfer beef to a paper towel lined plate and set aside. Wipe out skillet to clean.
1 lb. ground beef, 1 oz. taco seasoning, ¼ cup water
Return skillet to medium high heat and add the oil. Cook the tortillas in batches, flipping frequently to avoid burning (I used tongs to flip). Once browned to your liking and crisp, set aside. We like ours extra crispy, but feel free to make them as light or dark as your family likes.
1 tbsp oil, 16 corn tortillas
Heat the refried beans until just soft and spreadable in a microwave safe bowl.
16 oz. refried beans

To Assemble:

Place four tortillas on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray.
Spread a thin layer of refried beans onto each tortilla. Top each with 1-2 tbsp of beef.
Top each with another tortilla, making layers.
On each top layer, add 1 tbsp enchilada sauce, tomatoes, and sprinkle generously with cheese. Finally, top with green onions to taste.
10 oz. red enchilada sauce, 4 Roma tomatoes, 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, 3 green onions
Bake for 6-7 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Cut and serve. Enjoy!
