- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 6 medium flour tortillas
- 1 cup refried beans
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup taco sauce or salsa
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Add chopped onion and cook until soft.
- Stir in salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, dried cilantro, and cayenne. Cook for a few more minutes, then remove from heat.

Notes
- Use a Mexican cheese blend, cheddar, or Monterey Jack for best melt and flavor.

- Swap flour tortillas with whole wheat for a heartier version.
