Instructions
-
Prepare the refried beans (homemade or leftover).
-
Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil.

Place a tortilla in the skillet, spread refried beans over half, and sprinkle with cheese. Fold the tortilla to form a taco shape.
-
Add oil to the pan, and fry the taco for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

Remove and drain excess oil on paper towels. Serve with toppings like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
Notes
