Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup refried beans
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup prepared guacamole
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup sliced black olives
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
Brush both sides of each corn tortilla with vegetable oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.
Working in batches, cook each tortilla in the hot skillet for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Spread a thin layer of refried beans evenly over each tortilla.
Top the beans with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Place the tortillas on a baking sheet and heat under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.
Remove the tortillas from the oven and begin layering: add a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of guacamole, and a spoonful of salsa to each tortilla.
Sprinkle shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and chopped cilantro on top of each stack.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your Mexican Snack Stacks as a fun appetizer or light meal!
