Notes

  • I recommend using about ¼ cup of beans per tortilla, so if you'd like 2 tacos, heat up ½ cup refried beans. Heat up ¾ cup for 3 tortillas.
  • Use ¼ teaspoon taco seasoning per ¼ cup of beans. (½ teaspoon for ½ cup beans, and ¾ teaspoon for ¾ cup beans)
  • Just use whatever vegetables you have on hand, cabbage, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, radishes are a few examples.
  • No need to measure out ingredients, just use a spoon to spoon each ingredient on the tortilla and eat with a fork if it's too big to eat with your hands.
