Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 0.67 cup Water
- 1 can Refried beans
- 8 pieces Soft flour tortillas
- 8 pieces Crunchy taco shells
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Sour cream
- Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it's browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Add the taco seasoning packet and 2/3 cup of water to the cooked beef. Stir well and let simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave them in a microwave-safe bowl until hot and spreadable. Stir to ensure smooth consistency.
Heat the soft tortillas and crunchy taco shells according to package instructions. This usually involves microwaving the tortillas for 20-30 seconds and warming the shells in the oven for a few minutes.
To assemble the double decker tacos, spread a thin layer of refried beans over one side of a soft tortilla. Place a crunchy taco shell in the center of the tortilla, then gently press so the beans act like glue, securing the tortilla to the shell.
Fill the crunchy taco shell with a few spoonfuls of the seasoned ground beef, followed by shredded cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream. Add hot sauce if desired.
Repeat the process for the remaining tacos. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious double decker tacos!
