Double Decker Tacos

Double Decker Tacos

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v448/CareyG/634064.jpg">

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix, divided
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
2/3 cup water
12 prepared crisp taco shells

2 avocados
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 fresh lime, juiced
salt and black pepper to taste

12 (7 inch) flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 large tomato, chopped
1/4 red onion, chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
Directions

Place the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, and sprinkle about 3/4 of the packet of taco seasoning over the meat. Cook and stir the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks, until the beef is browned and crumbly, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the excess grease.

Mash the refried beans with the water in a small saucepan, and sprinkle with the rest of the seasoning packet. Heat the refried beans over low heat until simmering.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place the crisp taco shells on a baking sheet, and warm them in the preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes.
To make the guacamole, peel, seed, and mash the avocados in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of sour cream, the lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.

To build the tacos, spread each flour tortilla with about 2 tablespoons of heated refried beans. Wrap the tortilla gently around a crisp tortilla shell. Spread about 2 tablespoons of ground beef along the bottom of the crisp shell, and sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded Cheddar cheese on top of the meat. Top the cheese with shredded lettuce, a sprinkle of chopped tomato and onion, and a dollop of sour cream and guacamole.

Yum, I haven't had them for ages, actually I might go on a food hunt right now am starving!

 

[judyb57]

Tacos were great. We actually have them quite often since they are so easy to do. I like the crunchy shells and my son likes soft shells so we just use both, lol. I buy taco seasoning from Costco in a big jar instead of those little packets, we use it for lots of things. Another thing we make a lot is chicken fajitas! YUM

[sorcer3ss]

I don't mind the hard tacos but none of the rest of the family do so we usually have the soft ones - we don't usually bother with the refried beans. Yeah they are an easy dish aren't they Judy.
