Follow The Directions

01

Step

7 mins

In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly. (5-7 minutes)

02

Step

5 mins

Transfer the browned beef to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Wipe the skillet clean.

03

Step

0 mins

In the same skillet, combine water and taco seasoning mix. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Add the drained ground beef and refried beans to the skillet. Stir well to combine, ensuring the beef is evenly coated in the bean mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

05

Step

Arrange the tortilla scoops on a serving platter or individual plates.

06

Step

Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture into each tortilla scoop, filling them to the top.

07

Step

Garnish each scoop with shredded Cheddar cheese, diced tomato, and a dollop of sour cream.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce or a dollop of guacamole.
Feel free to experiment with different toppings! Shredded lettuce, chopped onions, black olives, or a sprinkle of cilantro would all be delicious additions.
To make these ahead of time, prepare the beef mixture and store it in the refrigerator. Assemble the bites just before serving to prevent the tortilla chips from becoming soggy.
