Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 0.333 cup Water
- 1 cup Refried beans
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Tortilla chips
- 2 tbsp Chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Lightly grease four ramekins (8 oz. size) and place them on a baking sheet for easy handling.
Layer the bottom of each ramekin with a thin layer of refried beans (about 2 tablespoons per ramekin).
Add a layer of the cooked taco meat, dividing it evenly among the ramekins.
Top the meat layer with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese (about 1/4 cup per ramekin).
Bake the ramekins in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Before serving, top each ramekin with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and a handful of crushed tortilla chips.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve warm.
