Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Filling

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    Add chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Spread a layer of refried beans on each tortilla, followed by a generous portion of the beef mixture. Top with shredded cheese.

  4. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the assembled tacos on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and garnish with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and salsa. Serve immediately.
