A quick and satisfying vegetarian taco filled with creamy refried beans and melted cheese, perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 (15-ounce) can refried beans
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt to taste
• 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
• Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, chopped cilantro

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
2. Stir in refried beans, water, cumin, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
4. Spread about 1/4 cup of the bean mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top with 1/4 cup cheese.
5. Fold the tortilla over the filling to form a soft taco. Serve immediately with desired toppings.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of chili powder or smoked paprika to the beans.
• If using corn tortillas, warm them briefly to prevent cracking.
• Leftover bean mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
