Instructions

• For preparing the tacos

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). Place corn taco shells on a baking sheet and crisp in the oven for 15-20 minutes while cooking the meat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, flour, chili powder, salt, dried onion flakes, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and water. Knead the mixture until well blended.
  3. In a large frying pan or wok, sauté the seasoned meat for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up into fine pieces with a spatula.
  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.
