  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.

  3. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef. Add 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup salsa. Stir and simmer for 3-5 minutes until sauce thickens.
  4. While meat simmers, warm refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl for about a minute.
  5. Place 4 tortillas on the baking sheet. Spread a layer of warm refried beans over each tortilla. Top with seasoned ground beef.
  6. Place a second tortilla on top of each stack. Press gently. Spread salsa over tortillas and sprinkle with cheese.
