Ingredients

1 pound lean ground turkey or ground sirloin
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 Tablespoons taco seasoning
6-8 taco sized flour tortillas
1 can refried black beans
salsa
shredded Mexican cheese blend
sliced black olives
diced tomatoes
sour cream for dipping

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with foil. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add in the olive oil then add the ground turkey (or beef). Break up the meat with a wooden spoon and sprinkle on the taco seasoning. Brown the meat until no longer pink and fully cooked.

Lay out a tortilla on the prepared baking sheet, spread some refried black beans evenly over the top, then top with some browned meat. Place another tortilla on top and bake for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet and top the tortilla with salsa (your "sauce"), then sprinkle on cheese and toppings. Sprinkle on a bit more cheese over the toppings, for good measure, and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted.
