Indulge in this spicy and cheesy delight tonight for a comforting twist to your weeknight dinner!

1

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

2

In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 pound of ground beef. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until it's browned, breaking it up with a spatula.

3

Add 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning to the ground beef, stirring well to combine. Pour in the can of refried beans, mixing everything until heated through, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

4

While the meat mixture is heating, take your corn tortillas and begin layering them in a greased baking dish. Start by placing a few tortillas at the bottom, slightly overlapping them.

5

Spoon half of the beef and bean mixture over the tortillas, followed by 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers with another set of tortillas, the remaining beef and bean mixture, and another cup of cheddar cheese.

6

Finish with a final layer of tortillas on top. Spread 1 cup of sour cream over the tortillas and sprinkle with the remaining cup of cheddar cheese.

7

Slice the jalapeno thinly and add it to the top, along with the sliced black olives.

8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

9

Once baked, remove from the oven, and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

• You can use ground turkey or chicken as a lighter alternative to beef.
• Make sure not to overbake, as it can dry out the cheese.
