Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and fully cooked.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Add the taco seasoning to the cooked ground beef. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. If needed, add a splash of water to help blend the seasoning.

  3. 3

    Warm the Refried Beans

    In a small saucepan, heat the refried beans over low heat until warm, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side or until soft and pliable.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Mesas

    On each warm tortilla, spread a layer of refried beans, followed by a generous scoop of the seasoned ground beef. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese.

  6. 6

    Add Toppings

    Finish each mesa by adding a dollop of sour cream and sliced jalapeños to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm, allowing guests to customize their mesas with additional toppings as desired.
