Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup water
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can refried beans
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup sliced black olives
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is evenly coated with seasoning. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate small saucepan, warm the refried beans over low heat until smooth and easy to spread. Keep warm.
Heat a large, non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly brush each tortilla with vegetable oil on both sides. Cook tortillas one at a time for 30 seconds per side, until lightly golden and crisp. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
To assemble the Mexi Stack, place one cooked tortilla on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of refried beans over the surface of the tortilla. Add a layer of seasoned beef, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Top with another tortilla and repeat the layering process (refried beans, beef, cheese). Finish with a final tortilla on top.
Garnish the top tortilla with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, and sliced black olives.
Repeat the layering and garnish process for the remaining tortillas to create additional stacks.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Mexi Stack!
