Taco Ingredients

  • 6 tortillas thin corn 5 to 6-inch wide
  • ½ cup refried beans
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder optional
  • 1 ½ cups Mexican-style blend shredded cheese
  • ½ cup salsa, sour cream, and/or guacamole for serving
  • cooking spray

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Arrange a rack in the center of the oven. Measure a piece of parchment paper big enough to line the bottom of a big, heavy baking sheet and set it aside. Place the unlined baking sheet in the oven to heat up as the oven preheats.
  • Spread refried beans on one side of each tortilla, about 1 heaping tablespoon per tortilla, and arrange in a single layer on a platter or another baking sheet. Dust each one with chili powder, if using. Put the cheese in a convenient location.

Baking

  • Remove the preheated baking sheet from the oven, line it with parchment, and spray generously with cooking spray. Arrange the tortillas on the baking sheet in a single layer, bean side up, and top each tortilla with cheese, about ¼ cup per taco mounded in the center.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake until the cheese has melted and the tortilla is soft, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the oven and fold each tortilla over to make tacos.
  • Return the tacos to the oven and bake until lightly crisp on the bottom, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook until gooey with crispy cheese bits, another 5 to 7 minutes.

Serving

  • Let cool for a few minutes. Serve with salsa, sour cream, and/or guacamole for dipping or topping.

Notes

Cheesy baked tacos are best served fresh, but you can reheat leftovers in a 350°F oven or in the air fryer.
