Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Ingredients

    Wash the lettuce and tomatoes thoroughly. Dice the tomatoes and shred the lettuce.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Beef

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned ground beef and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.

  2. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, warm the tortillas over low heat for 1-2 minutes on each side, until soft.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Torito

    Spread a layer of refried beans on each tortilla. Add a portion of the cooked ground beef, followed by shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Fold the tortillas in half to create a taco shape, and serve immediately with additional sour cream on the side if desired.
