Instructions
For preparing the tacos | |

| 4. | Heat the refried beans in the microwave for several minutes until they are hot and creamy in consistency. |
| 5. | Place 2-4 flour tortillas on a microwaveable plate. Cover the tortillas with plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute. Repeat as needed. |
| 6. | Spread each warmed flour tortilla with 2 tablespoons of refried beans; place a crisp taco shell on the beans, then fold the soft tortilla over the taco shell. |
| 7. | Fill the taco shells with the seasoned meat; top evenly with cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream. Serve with your favorite salsa or hot sauce. |
