1

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef for about 5 to 7 minutes until it is browned.

2

Add the taco seasoning to the beef and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, stirring well to combine.

3

Next, stir in the refried beans into the beef mixture and heat through for about 3 to 5 minutes.

4

Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top of the beef and beans, covering the skillet and allowing the cheese to melt for about 2 to 3 minutes.

5

While waiting for the cheese to melt, warm the tortillas on a separate skillet or in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

6

To assemble, place a generous scoop of the beef and bean mixture onto each tortilla, followed by a dollop of sour cream, lettuce, and diced tomato.

Fold the tortillas in half to create your melt, serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious creation!

• Swap out the ground beef for shredded chicken or ground turkey for a leaner version.
• Try using different types of cheese, like pepper jack or Monterey Jack, for a flavor twist.
• Add some black olives or avocados for some extra texture and taste.

• For extra flavor, consider adding diced onions and bell peppers to the beef as it cooks.
• If you love spice, mix some jalapeño slices into the beef and bean filling.
• Letting the filled tortillas sit for a couple of minutes before serving can allow the flavors to meld even more.
