Ingredients
  

For the meat
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup taco sauce
For the base
  • 12 6-inch flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup oil (vegetable, olive oil, or avocado oil) For frying tortillas
For the toppings
  • 1 can refried beans (16 ounces)
  • 1 1/2 cups enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded pepper-jack cheese
  • 1 large tomato (diced)
  • 1 can black olives (6 ounces, sliced)
  • 3-4 green onions (sliced)
  • Sour cream (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain the grease.
  2. Add the taco seasoning and water to the beef. Simmer for a few minutes, then stir in 1/2 cup of taco sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Cooking
  1. In another skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Fry each tortilla in the oil until lightly browned and crispy. They may bubble up while frying; you can gently pop the bubbles with a fork. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.
  2. In a small pan, warm the refried beans over medium heat.
Assembly
  1. Spread a layer of beans on each crispy tortilla, followed by a layer of taco meat. Top with another tortilla.
  2. Spread 3-4 tablespoons of enchilada sauce on top, then sprinkle with cheddar and pepper-jack cheese. Add diced tomatoes and olives.
  3. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Remove from the oven and top with green onions. Cut into slices and serve with sour cream if desired!

Notes

For extra crunch, fry the tortillas a little longer, but watch them closely to prevent burning. Feel free to customize the toppings! You can add jalapeños, corn, or avocado for added flavor. If you want a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with sautéed veggies or beans. To store leftovers, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven or microwave until heated through.
