Method

1

Shred lettuce and dice tomato and red onion; chop cilantro. Set vegetables on a serving surface or in separate bowls.

2

Cook and season the protein: if using ground meat, brown it in a skillet over medium-high heat, drain excess fat, and stir in taco seasoning. If using beans, warm them and lightly mash. Set aside.

3

Warm refried beans in a small saucepan or microwave until spreadable. Whisk sour cream with a squeeze of lime juice if desired.

4

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working one at a time, fry each tortilla 20–30 seconds per side until crispy and lightly golden. Transfer to a paper towel.

5

Spread 2–3 tbsp warm refried beans on each crispy tortilla.

6

Layer seasoned protein over beans, then top with shredded cheese.

7

Add lettuce, tomato, red onion, and cilantro on top. Spoon salsa over the vegetables.

8

Serve immediately. Offer sour cream and lime wedges on the side.
