Ingredients
- 3 taco shells (hard shell or soft tortilla)
- ½ can refried beans (alternative: Yves veggie ground)
- 4 tbsp sour cream
- ¼ cup cheddar cheese
- ½ cup lettuce
- 1 bottle taco sauce or salsa (I use Old El Paso taco sauce)
Directions
- Heat taco shells in oven, convection bake 325º until warm.
- Put beans in pot and add enough water to cover half. Stir beans and water to create smooth texture, and remove once hot.
- Lay tortilla flat on plate and cover with 1 tablespoon of sour cream. If using hard shell tacos, spoon 1 tablespoon of sour cream into the shell.
- Add as much refried beans as desired. Pour taco sauce or salsa over beans, then add desired amount of cheese and lettuce.
- Enjoy!
