Categories: Entrees

Ingredients

  • 1 lg flour tortilla
  • 1 14oz can refried beans
  • 1/2 c crumbled and browned ground beef or sausage
  • 1/2 c shredded jack cheese
  • 1/2 c sliced ripe olives
  • Garnishes: guacamole & sour cream

Directions

  1. Fry the tortillas in canola oil to cover. Allow them to form bubbles. If your pan is slightly smaller then the circumference of the tortilla, they will form an upturned rim that will keep the fillings contained.

  2. Turn them, but only let them brown on one side; the flip side should be lighter in color – it will finish browning when you toast it under the broiler. Drain well. Top the lighter side of ea fried tortilla with strips of beans and browned meat, wagon-wheel style. Then sprinkle with cheese and top wtih ripe olives. Heat under a 400F broiler just until the cheese has melted. Watch carefully so the tortilla doesn’t char. Top with garnishes.
