Method

Cooking the Beef

1

Brown the Beef

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

2

Season the Beef

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper into the browned beef. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom.

Assembling the Dish

3

Prepare the Tortillas

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.

4

Layer the Ingredients

On each tortilla, spread a layer of refried beans, followed by the seasoned beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese.

Finishing Touches

5

Add Toppings

Top each assembled tortilla with sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro.
