List of Ingredients




1 lb. ground beef
1/3 C. refried beans
1/4 tsp. salt
2 T. chili powder
1/4 C. mild Ortega Taco Sauce
12 soft corn tortillas
3 C. vegetable oil
6 slices American Cheese
Lettuce, finely chopped



Recipe



Slowly brown the beef over low heat, using a wooden spoon to chop and stir the meat, keeping it very fine and smooth. When the beef is brown, drain the fat. Add the refried beans and use the wooden spoon to smash the whole beans into the mixture creating a smooth texture. Add salt, chili powder and taco sauce to the mixture. Remove from heat.

Slice each piece of American cheese in half.

In another skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil until hot. A small piece of tortilla should bubble when dropped into the oil when it it ready. Spread 1/2 of the beef mixture on the center of each corn tortilla. Fold the tortillas over and press so that the beef filling acts as an adhesive and holds the sides together.

Drop each taco into the hot oil and fry on both sides until crispy. When cooked, remove the tacos from the oil and place them on a rack or some paper towels until they are a little cooler. Pry open slightly and add 1/2 slice American cheese and some lettuce. Top additional taco sauce, to taste.
