Double Tacos

Crunchy and soft tacos make a great couple. The soft taco, layered with a mixture of refried beans and cheese, act as a cushion to keep the crunchy taco shell, filled with taco meat and toppings, from breaking. It's fun for kids and adults, too! This recipe is versatile and toppings are a matter of preference. We prefer shredded cheese, sour cream, lettuce, hot sauce, and sometimes guacamole. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• ¾ cup water
• ½ onion, chopped
• 1 (14 ounce) can refried beans
• 1 (1.25 ounce) package dry taco seasoning mix
• 10 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
• 1 ¼ pounds ground beef
• 4 ounces processed cheese food, cubed
• 10 crisp taco shells, warmed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cook ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat until beef is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease from the skillet.

Step 2

While beef cooks, stir taco seasoning mix into water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Stir taco seasoning mixture into ground beef and onion mixture; simmer on medium-low heat while preparing the remaining ingredients.

Step 4

Stir refried beans and cubed process cheese food together in a separate small saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until cheese food has melted completely into the beans, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Divide refried bean mixture between flour tortillas; spread into an even layer to cover one side completely.

Step 6

Wrap tortillas around the crisp taco shells, using bean mixture to stick the tortillas to the shells.

Step 7

Spoon seasoned ground beef into the taco shells.
