    In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft.

    On each tortilla, spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans.

    Top the beans with a generous portion of the seasoned ground beef.

    Add Fresh Toppings

    Sprinkle shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese on top of the beef.
