Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Wipe grease from the skillet.

Step 2

Combine water and taco seasoning mix in the same skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add cooked beef along with refried beans; mix well. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Assemble tortilla scoops on individual plates. Scoop a small amount of beef mixture into each scoop, filling to the top. Add Cheddar cheese, diced tomato, and sour cream on top.
