Layers of crisp tortillas, refried beans, seasoned beef, melty cheese, fresh tomatoes, and olives baked golden.

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 pound ground beef
02 - 1 packet taco seasoning
03 - 1/4 cup water
04 - 1/2 cup taco sauce
05 - 12 flour tortillas, 6-inch size
06 - 1/2 cup vegetable, olive, or avocado oil
07 - 16 ounce can refried beans
08 - 1 1/2 cups enchilada sauce
09 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
10 - 1 cup shredded pepper-jack cheese
11 - 1 large tomato, diced
12 - 6 ounce can black olives, sliced
13 - 3-4 green onions, sliced
14 - Sour cream, optional

# Steps:

01 - Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned and drain the grease. Add taco seasoning, water, and simmer. Then add 1/2 cup taco sauce, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, stir and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
02 - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
03 - In a large skillet, heat the oil on medium heat. Fry each tortilla in the oil until lightly browned and crispy, gently popping any bubbles with a fork. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain.
04 - In a small pan on medium heat, warm the refried beans.
05 - Place a single layer of refried beans on the crispy tortillas. Add a layer of taco meat, top with another tortilla, then spread 3-4 tablespoons of enchilada sauce. Sprinkle with cheddar and pepper-jack cheese and top with diced tomatoes and sliced black olives.
06 - Place assembled tortillas in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
07 - Remove from the oven, top with sliced green onions, cut into slices, and serve with sour cream, if desired.

# Tips:

01 - Substitute taco sauce for enchilada sauce if preferred.
02 - Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for 2-3 minutes.
