- 6 or 8 inch package flour tortillas
- 8 oz sour cream

- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- If you're using hard chorizo, remove from package and cut into slices and then cube. Set aside. If you are using ground chorizo, remove from casing into bowl, set aside.
- In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoon of oil over medium heat and add chopped onion. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the beef or chorizo. If it is ground beef/chorizo, cook for about 7 minutes.Note: The ground chorizo may be too oily, just put mixture through a mesh strainer to remove excess oil.
If using hard chorizo, cook for 5 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. - Mix garlic, onions and beef/chorizo all together.
- Heat refried beans for 1 minute in microwave, so they will be easier to spread on tortillas.
- Taking one flour tortilla at a time, spread about 2 tbsps of the refried beans on tortilla.
- Follow with chorizo, cheese and scallions. Top with another tortilla. Repeat full process until you have used all the mixture.
- Heat and grill tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for a minute or so on each side or until cheese has melted. Note: Could use non stick spray or a little bit of oil for grill pan or skillet.
- Take each tortilla and cut into quarters. Serve immediately with salsa of your choice and sour cream. Enjoy!
